    Please give us Galaxy on Linux, GOG, so I can shop with you over Steam.

      Buying games on Steams results in development of the Linux technology stack. No other game company funds open source upstream development like Valve. As nice as DRM-free games are, GOG is not a force for Linux advancement.

        Steam Deck was reason I moved from GOG to Steam again. Installation process and getting the game running is so much more streamlined than using heroic launcher. And sync saves is spotty and I don’t think there is achievement support last I tried.

        Wish they had a proper Linux launcher, but they don’t see it worth it.

        For example, this game is Windows only

      As long as GOG doesn’t invest in Wine/Proton, Valve has still the upper hand in Linux support and therefore deserve my money more.

        They don't even need to invest in its development. They just need to integrate it as a launch option.

      Heroic Launcher is decent enough to use.

      source
      • ampersandrew@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah, but I want things like auto updates and cloud saves as officially supported features rather than something they can revoke from Heroic at any time.

      Surprised we haven’t seen launchers adding native support for Linux. You’d think they would want to take advantage of the millions of steam decks on the market.

      Perhaps they are busy contemplating their own hardware investments, which will surely flood the market with cheap and poorly constructed knockoffs.

        There’s little to no business incentive for other launchers to add support for an OS used only by approx. 1.7% of PC gamers.

      Yeah I’ve had issues playing GOG games on linux using arch/gentoo because the libs that the game wants to dynamically link are often not where it expects. It’s possible to resolve it but the Steam approach where they distribute a static bundle of libs into ~/.local/share is much less of a headache.

      Presumably Galaxy could solve this problem and make Linux more viable. The dynamic linking of the libraries has been more of an issue than the missing Proton integration for me. Often it is easier to install GOG games with wine and take the performance hit!

        Whg do they dynamically link libs instead of static linking, or better yet, distributing an AppImage?

      Just in case you don’t know: You can buy GOG games and download the installers in a browser.

        Yes, that's the selling point, but I also value automatic updates and cloud saves most of the time.

      Yes! I was just thinking about this last night. I’m finally playing through the first one and I’m loving it. I’d sure like to slide into the sequel…
