Does anyone have experience with playing Baldurs Gate 3 from GOG? (feddit.de)

I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

Updates are the main reason I stick with Steam. If GOG Galaxy worked on Linux, I'd probably buy a lot more from them.

But for something like this that's likely to get more frequent updates, I'll stick to Steam.

Could they not just support the Heroic Game Launcher and call it official? That's what I'd do. By support I mean mostly financial.

Sure! But by support I mean:

officially link to it and offer some level of customer support
at least financially contribute to it, and perhaps provide dev resources as well
provide Heroic developers access to pre-release versions of any new API they introduce so support could theoretically land day 1

But not being hostile toward it is not enough for me to call it "support," so I'm going to feel like a second-class citizen until GOG does something official.

@sugar_in_your_tea @Holzkohlen heroic doesn’t have a forum or an accessible place to get support. It’s AI and then discord or GitHub. Contact needs to be easier. Gog feels like I’m buying from a emulator site with no human contact for help
