Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they’re determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were

  • a tool for backing up offline installers
  • ability to install previous versions of a game
  • extra insight into the preservation work they’re doing.
  • voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

And others that I can’t remember.

    What if I told you that the intersection between people who care and the 5% of their potential audience that are Linux users is very small either way?

    I’m not saying Linux isn’t a chance for them, but it’s also an investment and very like not a profitable one for quite a while.

      I’d love a gog galaxy client for Linux with proton support. I also agree though, that it probably wouldn’t help them become more profitable.

        You do know Heroic exists, right? It works perfectly fine.

        And I prefer an open source solution integrating multiple platforms to a single closed solution per platform.
