I also like the way I can choose where to install the game through GOG galaxy (unlike Steam that install in subfolders), and you have access to offline installer with the GOG version. Steam still is king for PC, but you can bet your sweet little bippy that I’m signing up for the beta, and I certainly will buy through Galaxy on a regular basis. These can also be accessed with the Steam version, but that's just extra work as you'd need a GOG account. I’ve been a fan of GOG.com for a while, but will Galaxy replace Steam for me? Nope. Concerned about being able to play with your friends who buy games on Steam? They’ve enable cross-play, “because where you buy your games shouldn’t prevent you from playing with friends.” Don’t like achievements or chat? You can turn just about any of the features off. Updates causing problems? They are going to implement a feature to revert to previous updates with a single click. What are some of the intriguing features of Galaxy? Easy back-up to an external hard drive (it’s a pain to reinstall everything after a system crash or an major upgrade). It also offers online multiplayer, achievements, chat, game-time tracking and more – but it’s up to you which features you want to use.” As they are rolling out the program incrementally, you can sign up on their site for the beta program for the chance to kick the tires before it goes fully live for the general public.

That’s about to change as GOG is now introducing Galaxy, “a fully optional client to install, play, and update your games. Despite the fact that they boast “ no DRM or intrusive copy protection“, one thing that caused some to hesitate to purchase games from GOG is the lack of a gaming infrastructure (read Steam-like system).

Epic tends to give old titles away for free which is a positive because these are games nobody in their right mind would pay money for in this day and century whereas people tend to buy the bundle packages on steam, seem to be pretty happy with it, but then realize it's full of old titles, most of them have less than 20 hours of playable content and most of them are has been gaining a growing stream of fans and users over time, as they continue to provide good prices for their customers, and fantastic support for classic games (as we noted earlier, several classic games were on GOG.com long before they came to Steam). exe in a proton environment Install GOG Galaxy Retarget Steam to launch GOG Galaxy instead of the installer The setup will be done in desktop mode but it will be usable from both the normal and the desktop mode afterwards. I hope that people are having a better experience with purchases through GoG than I had experienced with steam and I really like epic games lately as well, so I hope between GoG and Epic games the most ethical company does well. GoG on the other hand has a much cooler design. On the power menu, navigate to and select Switch to Desktop. Navigate down the list to highlight and select Power. I never liked steam anyway, I don't think they provide much of a service. Hit the left-side STEAM button to open the quick menu.

Steam is dodgy, I bought some software with them that should have been accessable via offline, but was unaware that it has to go through their portal to work, either way when I told them that it was causing the software to not work properly on my computer they refused to refund it and I had to fight very hard for me money.
Maybe I'm mistaken on this, but it eases my mind to think/believe that I'm directly supporting CDPR each and every time when I'm paying for things via GOG, rather than some other platform which CDPR might use for outsourced distribution of it's own games/content. If you want to be able to add gog games that you bought there into steam for free, go ask the developers of.
So I'd rather support CDPR by buying things directly from their own platform, than to buy CDPR's game or it's content from a third party platform that might (and highly likely WILL) take a cut for itself for any and all transactions performed, so CDPR could not get the entire sum in the end. Valve gains nothing from this as has been mentioned.
While, on the other hand, greedy Steam obviously still takes it's (pretty hefty so) share cut from any and all transactions performed on that platform, disregarding what and from whom you're buying. Purely on personal level, I like to think/believe (even if it's not actually the case and I'm merely having a "wishful thinking" kind of moment in here) that when I use GOG and buy anything on it (be that the actual game itself or, like in the case with Gwent in particular, a "premium pass", or DLC, or some other in-game content directly related to the said game) - I pay directly to CD Projekt with each and every single last coin of it going straight to them with no third parties involved whatsoever.
