This is why I primarily shop at GOG. There are almost no other storefronts left that promote DRM-free games.

But they don't promote linux platform.

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone 22 points 7 months ago

That's true, they don't. But they're at least open enough to allow community efforts on Linux like Heroic.

It's a missed opportunity.

Is it? Linux gamers are not exactly a huge demographic. I'm quite okay with being able to use Heroic Games Launcher for games, no need for official support.

the beauty of no DRM is that if a game runs fine on wine (and I'm sure most games in GOG will) then you can just install them.
