It would be awesome if they released it on GOG too

Woul be nice if GoG had a linux client

They promised one years ago, definitely coming soon

They should sponsor HGL. No need to reinvent the wheel, and the project could always use the money and fame.

They have a deal with Heroic to give them a portion of revenue for stuff purchased with their affiliate link. Not quite sponsorship but it's a lot more than nothing, which seems to be what Epic is offering them

Heroic Launcher fulfils the basics for it.

It's hot enough off the presses that the Steam store page doesn't even know about it yet, so it's possible it propagates to GOG, too.

The official post on the website says that there’s currently no support for other native Linux platforms besides steam deck, so maybe a bit further down the road with the next patch.
