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
