Lemme copy my own post from somewhere else
GOG’s installers work great with Wine as do the games themselves. If you desperately need a launcher before you can even consider them, you can use Heroic Games Launcher - in fact I’d prefer if they throw their weight behind it than on Galaxy. A match made in heaven.
I guess the other good thing is GOG is not a US company, they’re based in Poland. No tax money going to the American regime and their shenanigans I never asked for.

Exactly. Beating them up for being late has more risk of them dropping plans altogether. Celebrate their plans, they’ll want to execute on them.

I think what you meant to say is: “Hell yeah!”, no?
Let’s stop punishing people for turning around and trying to do better, seriously. It’s always damned if you don’t, damned if you do….

Considering how gog has been progressing over the past years, they’ll have to do much more to prove that they are getting better than to make an announcement.
Until then, I’ll remain critical.
I don’t think clapping as soon as a company that has been doing a lot of crap over years, makes an announcement about one potential future improvement, is more logical than that.

If pointing out their non-action is being sprinkled on top of their pile of historical non-action is any kind of punishment, I have to wonder how you think they have been treating us who have given them money time and time again and had to figure out how to make their games work without their support!
