Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'
They set up a commission with gog if you buy games through heroic
Is this an actual, specific deal with Heroic, or some general affiliate linking thing?
No clue if it’s heroic exclusive but it’s more than just affiliate linking. Heroic embeds the actual gog store page in the launcher and gets a percentage of anything you buy per their agreement with gog
For the record, the affiliate link is listed here:
heroicgameslauncher.com/donate
Sounds technically just like affiliate linking, even if the browser is embedded.
affiliate.gog.com
Just curious if there is a specific deal between Heroic and GOG.
