Unfortunately Gog can't get off their ass and make a Linux library launcher/updater.

Meanwhile Valve maintains my library, uses my OS of choice in a flagship product, and improves my gaming experience.

Steam manages all my saves and shares my library with my family.

What has gog done again? DRM free? Not so useful if I can't play it all. Yes I could use a third party launcher but at that point why bother.

I would like to support Gog I have an account there. But they don't want to support me.

So Steam it is.

Indeed. I exclusively used gog for many years and have since given up. Steam is so much better and actually makes Linux a platform to play on.
