@gamingonlinux Neat. Though I'd quite frankly prefer them simply becoming major contributor and sponsor of the Heroic Launcher. Perhaps with an optional "GOG Galaxy Theme" for the launcher so they could still do brand deals and such. Perhaps installable as an Addon through Flathub, that way they could even point to something in the store.However as long as GOG Galaxy ends up being Open-Source I'll also take that. :blahaj:

@gamingonlinux It's about 15 years too late from their promised schedule, I guess. Also overshadowed by **checks notes** getting called out on blowing nazi dogwhistles and then doubling the fuck down.I don't think it's right for any conversation about GOG now to happen without mentioning that they did this and pressed the button that said "I am aware and would like to proceed"

@VileLasagna that whole thing was massively overblown, they included icons in an email and clearly didn't mean what people saw in it

@gamingonlinux I'd be more charitable towards that interpretation were it not for their response where they basically went "yeah, we knew what we were doing. We knew what these represented and decided to follow through with this anyway. But we made sure to not send it to Germany where it might get us into legal trouble" (last part not true)I think they burned every ounce of plausible deniability with that one

@gamingonlinux You can claim some extrapolation on my part with the "legal trouble" side and I'll own to that 100% but, that aside, this:"I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime. This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community"This, to me, was very "I'm aware and would like to proceed"https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txmcyd/comment/opxtour/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1

@gamingonlinux Let's hope it works well with gamepad.I have my self-build-steam-machineish in big picture mode (and nearly never keyboard or mouse attached) and all those alternatives like hero do not work THAT well with my dualsense.

@gamingonlinux Here's my take on this as a long time Linux user. This will be a good option for those jumping out of the M$ OS camp. It'll be a simple enough solution for those users. For those of use who utilize a 3rd party tool, such as Lutris, Heroic, or Minigalaxy, this won't be a replacement for us. What I was hoping, was for GOG to be a supporter of these others services, instead of throwing their own hat into an already competitive market.
