Yes, I do actually. If GOG can't do it then they should donate to one of the projects that enables their users to use the platform they want. Linux support is the most important feature for any service I use, I do not want to support services that treat me as a second class citizen.
You're talking about hundreds of games that were written by people years ago and would have to be recoded to play on Linux natively. I fail to see how that's GOG's mission.
A native Linux client for GOG's platform is a bare minimum one should except.
Why? Just use heroic.
I want to track time played with GOG.
I want to track achievements with GOG.
I want to chat with my friends via the overlay.
I want cloud sync for my Linux games (only available for game installed as Windows application, means buying a Linux native game pointless).
Because I like GOG's client.
Because I want to use GOG's client.
Because I am human and my resons are not solely on logic but emotions as well.
Heroic is a great client but I want to use GOG's client. That should be reason enough.
It's a digital distribution and shop site...
Those wishes are akin to demanding libre office calc to be a database.
What are you talking about? GOG Galaxy 2.0 already has all of that.
gog in linux.
I want on Linux what is already implemented on Windows. It is not like they have to come up with how to do everything from scratch. All the business logic of their application is already there.
No, I'm really not. I'm talking about an official client that is supported by GoG both monetarily speaking but also with customer support. Steam doesn't have to rewrite things to work, and I'm not asking for rewrites. I'm asking for a Linux client, just like I have for steam. They support windows and Mac with their client, they can very easily do more to support Linux.
