I don’t understand the hype and desire for launchers, even the galaxy client. Capitalism is bad, social media is bad. I’m far more preferable to my GOG offline installers from the regular webpage. The client is a downgrade! Achievements?? Like I’m a 10yr old with his first skinner box? I left steam for crying out loud, why would I want to run to another launcher of any sort?
But thats just me I suppose. I hate people, I’m a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist that wishes the planet got hit by a massive rock and just explodes. My Nihilism knows no bounds. Fucking launchers. Cancer I say! Burn your offline GOG installers onto M-Disc storage media. Disconnect your computer from the world. Enjoy gaming in peace.
For one it’s nice to have a way of managing/installing the sofware.
Try installing an older Linux native game from GOG, it’s a huge pain in the ass: ancient dependencies you have to install by hand, cryptic error messages, debugging controller support for every game separately. And good luck uninstalling.
Compare to Steam: you click “install”, wait a bit, click “play” and you are playing. uninstalling is also trivially easy
