minus-squareDebatableRaccoon@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 days agoJust call it malware. At least that’s an honest name.
minus-squarekrash@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·3 days agoCorrect me if I’m wrong: if you’re a linux gamer then GOG doesn’t support your platform, no?
minus-squareGimpydude@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoYes and no. They do have Linux binaries for games that support Linux, but GOG Galaxy is Windows. Heroic Launcher and others do support GOG.
minus-squaregreyw0lv@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoTo my knowledge the client (gog galaxy) doesn’t work. But the binary installers the actual games you buy can still work.

minus-squareRogueBanana@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·2 days agoThey only support like a dozen different currencies, everyone else has to buy it in USD. If there implementation sucks, then it might as well not exist for us ignored by gog.
