Hey GOG! How about you make an actual Linux client instead of giving me another useless way I can't play my games? Because unfortunately I live in the third world shithole with abysmal internet known as the United States. Cloud gaming is about as useful to me as a safe to store all the gold I don't have.

While it would be great to see official support, the Heroic Games Launcher is a very good way to play GOG (as well as Epic and Amazon Prime) games on Linux.

If only that were a long term solution. Heroic works for me on average for a week and then fails to connect to game stores and even forgets where the games are installed sometimes.

It fails on my laptop and my steamdeck. I love when it works but it's not consistent.
