And just like that, GOG rose to surpass Steam as the better place to buy video games.

It was already better as the games it sells are free of Digital Restrictions Management

Just call it malware. At least that's an honest name.

The only client I would willingly install alongside Steam

Funny how people like it when they actually provide value to you instead of only forcing an ad delivery/data collection tool on you, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong: if you're a linux gamer then GOG doesn't support your platform, no?

[–] Gimpydude@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 month ago

Yes and no. They do have Linux binaries for games that support Linux, but GOG Galaxy is Windows. Heroic Launcher and others do support GOG.

To my knowledge the client (gog galaxy) doesn't work. But the binary installers the actual games you buy can still work.

I even rebought some games I really care about on GOG.
