    You don’t need GOG galaxy to install and run GOG games. In fact you shouldn’t if you care about keeping your games.

      Currently happily using Heroic to manage GOG games. But, I still welcome GOG putting in effort to make it a smooth experience.

      Disagree. The fewer barriers to using a game the better. GOG offers full DRM free downloads regardless of Galaxy existing.

        Yes and the DRM free part only matters if you keep a copy of the installer. Galaxy doesn’t do that.

          Why would that be relevant on Linux? WINE/Proton virtual environments are portable.
