Gog is doing much better than in 2022. They are making 1.2M dollars in profit. Which is pretty good for such a platform personally. I really like the ideals of GOG, but haven't really used the platform a whole lot.

Meh, Steam is 1000x better with the Steam Deck, Proton support and Linux client.

yep steam is better in most aspects but the DRM aspects of GOG are more comfortable and convenient.

Yeah... But they should try at least to provide some basic Linux support. Since their stance is about no DRM, it would seem like the obvious ally.

Can you explain what use cases make the DRM issue so important to you? For me I get stuff on sale on steam all the time and constantly churn thru games. I don't really care about the DRM as long as I got to play the game and get my money's worth.

This, I've always loved GOG but ever since I've switched to primarily gaming on my steam deck, it's been more of a pain than it's really worth to use GOG

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

yeah, the steam deck is amazing. I love my steamdeck alot.

GOG is amazing, just wish they would make their linux support better.

Mhm, you can simply use Heroric or Lutris as a GoG client and utilise proton with not much hassle :)

Heroic Luncher isn't more difficult than steam imho, works pretty good: https://heroicgameslauncher.com
