You can use heroic I guess...

It is UI for GOG? We have a Heroic Game Launcher. It can work with GOG.

Because GOG doesn't want to support it. They'd rather the community do it.

Because cdpr is a joke. Like did you see cyberpunks release? All they care is about money they showed that with their rushed job. I haven't claimed any free games on GOG because you have to sign up for their newsletter in order to claim the game. I still get spammed with emails from GOG even after unsubscribing after I receive every single email. At this point of just marked em' as spam.

There's an open-source CLI client to download GOG games, lgogdownloader. It's packaged in Debian.

There are also GUI launchers that can download from GOG:

We don't need third party launchers to buy or play their games. Why do you want this?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

If third party launchers were as good as the first party ones, we wouldn't.

Maybe the author of the article/blog doesn’t know about Heroic?

They mention lutris, but note that it isn’t a functional equivalent to Galaxy. But as far as I’m aware, Heroic is (correct me if I’m wrong, I haven’t seen Galaxy in action).

I found Heroic today. Same games that won't run on Lutris won't run on Heroic either. The biggest disappointment was that it crashed a few times and I gave up entirely when it froze up. I'm not saying Lutris is flawless, it certainly isn't, but my experience overall has at least been acceptable.
