God of War (PC) is now available on GOG

Please give us Galaxy on Linux, GOG, so I can shop with you over Steam.

Buying games on Steams results in development of the Linux technology stack. No other game company funds open source upstream development like Valve. As nice as DRM-free games are, GOG is not a force for Linux advancement.

As long as GOG doesn't invest in Wine/Proton, Valve has still the upper hand in Linux support and therefore deserve my money more.

Heroic Launcher is decent enough to use.

Yeah I've had issues playing GOG games on linux using arch/gentoo because the libs that the game wants to dynamically link are often not where it expects. It's possible to resolve it but the Steam approach where they distribute a static bundle of libs into ~/.local/share is much less of a headache.

Presumably Galaxy could solve this problem and make Linux more viable. The dynamic linking of the libraries has been more of an issue than the missing Proton integration for me. Often it is easier to install GOG games with wine and take the performance hit!

Surprised we haven’t seen launchers adding native support for Linux. You’d think they would want to take advantage of the millions of steam decks on the market.

Perhaps they are busy contemplating their own hardware investments, which will surely flood the market with cheap and poorly constructed knockoffs.

Just in case you don't know: You can buy GOG games and download the installers in a browser.

Yes! I was just thinking about this last night. I'm finally playing through the first one and I'm loving it. I'd sure like to slide into the sequel....
