A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Do you have a source on how to do this? I keep seeing that you have to use Heroic Launcher or Lutis. I just want to buy games on GOG and then play them on my steam deck, but haven't had time to figure out the best way to go about it
Also, do GOG games only save to internal memory and not the SD card? I read that it one article, but don't know if that's still true.
I'm still figuring out everything I can do with my steam deck, I just don't have as much time as I used to, to REALLY tinker around with it
I'm not a tech guru, but pretty familiar with linux and ok with using CLI (though I've never needed it on steam deck, just a point of reference for my comfortability)
If you set your Steam Deck to desktop mode, the process is the same as on Windows.
Click on "Games" in the top menu bar, then click "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library."
Heroic also has a handy "Add to Steam" shortcut for each game:
If you "add to Steam" from Heroic, will the game still receive any updates/patches, or would you have to re-add it to Steam?
You don't have to re-add the game but I think you have to start Heroic itself from time to time to check for updates.
