The store experience sucks, the company behind it actively avoids supporting the Steam Deck (valid business reasons imo, but it still sucks), and they have stupid exclusives that just delay when I get to play games on my platform of choice.
EGS sucking doesn’t make Steam good, it just means EGS sucks.
While GOG’s client kinda sucks, it’s better than EGS and their games are DRM-free. So I’ll give them a pass on their client kinda sucking and not porting to my preferred platform, Linux. I’d just GOG in a heartbeat if they gave half as much attention to Linux as Steam (I don’t want much, just officially endorse Heroic and/or port Galaxy.

I keep my fingers crossed that one day GoG Galaxy will be given a developer or two instead of a single untrained monkey. I like the concept, I like some of the features and love that I can view all my libraries in one place, but man it’s so janky and there’s no support from the company at all and they don’t fix issues or work on anything new for it and what they do add is done at a glacial pace.

Meanwhile, Valve keeps rolling out new features, such as:
Sometimes it’s pretty stagnant, but overall it gets way more attention than any other client. All GOG needs to do is get like 5 full-time devs and Galaxy would be a much better client. They have the money (Witcher, Cyberpunk, etc), they just need to improve their client so people actually want to use it.
