    I hate their monopoly, but every competitor sucks absolute ass. Epic Game Store gives me one or two free games per week, and I STILL don’t use the platform because the platform is aweful.

        GOG is superior at everything other than social features and server integration. Stuff like joining servers from your friends list etc.

        DRM free games are worth that minor trade off so if it’s available on GOG I buy it there.

          Another issue is the lack of linux support. Didn’t matter much until the steam deck came out. Hope that drives additional Linux support.

              I understand there are ways to do it, but it really would be in their best interest to make a Linux client. One that implements proton in a similar fashion as steam would also be great. Even more ideally, they would add some features that does what emudeck does to auto add the games into the steam launcher on SD.

              Valve has done the heavy work on proton. And obviously a good launcher isn’t simple, but I do think it would be worthwhile for them.

      I install the games and run them from the shortcut on my desktop, multiplayer works… Honestly, it does what it needs to do as a launcher and there’s extra crap, just not as much as there is on Steam 🤷 The best launcher would be no launcher but here we are…
