Note: Piracy is not an answer. I understand why, and do agree to a certain extent... But sometimes, the happiness gained by playing something from a legitimate source is far greater 🥹... coming from someone who could never ever afford to purchase games, nor could my parents... Hence I've always played bootleg, or pirated games.

TL;DR

What's wrong?

Their launcher has a terrible UI AND UX.
They make exclusive deals with studios to prevent other platforms from getting games. (Someone mentioned that Steam did the same thing in their infancy. Also, I have another question; why is it ok for Sony and Microsoft to make exclusive games for their consoles but not ok for these PC platforms to do so?)
They have been invested in by a Chinese company, Tencent. (Someone mentioned that it isn't that big of a deal, but idk.)
They are actively anti-linux for some reason.

This is to be expected and don't let it turn you off using Galaxy. Once set up you can automatically launch (and close) the game and client from here without seeing the other apps.

It does work with Steam, Ubisoft etc but the login will expire every week and need reconnecting.

Oh yeah. No, absolutely not... I logged in...

I installed one game, uninstalled another.

Waiting to get time to play using GoG soon.

Also, do we know if there's any integration with services like IGDB?
