Comment on Anon uses GOG
boletus@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI use heroic because I buy games that don’t have a native Linux version, and because some of the games I own are going to get updated. Also, cloud saves. Having a platform I can easily see and immediately install my purchases from is nice

Ah right, I had forgotten the cloud saves. Those are actually a real value addition to consider using an extra client.
For updates though, I am happy to just re-download the offline installer whenever it gets released.
Of course, I am not buying from GoG, the kinds of games that won’t work unless constantly updated.

Do you really keep track of it? I have like 20-30 games installed, and they update in the background. I don’t have to think about it and just play whatever strikes my fancy.

No, I just don’t update them. The offline installers don’t come up as often either.
Also, I only have ~5-10 GoG games.

Ah, OK. I have like 200, so having a launcher to keep track of and install them is quite useful.
