- We sat down with Piotr and Oleg to talk about GOG Galaxy 2.0, a new version of their PC gaming client that hopes to solve the current issue of too many clients plaguing PC gamers.
I'm going to buy cyberpunk on gog just to support them
ArtificialGamer That's the same thing I was planning
'Don't stop at Cyberpunk.
Recently I've been liking them more then Steam & Epic..etc. plus They have summer sale now.
same :) hell i buying most of the stuff there if is avail + drm free and no other bs
I bought witcher 3 on GOG so they got 100% of the money
That's what U did with Witcher 3.
GOG lives already in 2077.
Hell ya
Accurate
"Business comes second" this is precisely how it should be. The fact that this is not the case for most of companies is why the game industry is so bad and full of unethical bullshit. GOG and CDPR guys are indeed living in 2077.
No.... Not until it gets a native Linux client. :P
Ahhhh GOGzilla Ahhhhhhh
Honestly GOG is the only game store I fully trust. I have no problem with this.
Humble Bundle store also offers DRM free games ...
Since i have Steam, I always supported Steam when I could. But how these guys are focusing on the gamers and the functionality instead of business....i can stand behind them with my full support.
I rebuy old games I already own that work just fine for simplicity and to support CD Project and hope some of that money goes towards Cyberpunk 2077 and future games. Plus, I owe them for getting The Witcher 3 GOTY for only $20.
Primary support GOG and Steam myself.
GOG all the way. If it's not there i don't care about...it's not even on my radar.
Whaaaaaat? Treating the gamer with respect?
mind = blown!
even if they don't deserve it... :P
But that has been the MO of CDP since it was formed in 1994. They have already revolutionized the gaming industry of Poland 3 times and are now trying to revolutionize the global landscape.
Not really. Go look up their twitter post last year where they promoted Postal 2's new expansion. They had a picture of The Dude urinating on a gravestone marked "Gaming Journalism". Guess what happened next.
@@Thalanox Lol I like them even more now.
"what's in it for the gamer?" what any company should ask.
"asked about micro dlc and loot boxes"
they get to pay us
Łoc yn yt for de gejmer
I don't think that plumbers should be asking this.
@@cptncutleg Lmao!
Unless they're not a gaming company.
GOG are one of the few actual good guys in the industry ;)
Yeah man, Valve and Epic are super evil villains out to control the universe and destroy all of humanity!
@@Kcimor78 Every company wants money, who doesn't
The company we need, but not the one we deserve
"yet" just wait.
Every business need money but some hurt the consumers.
Excellent idea and sounds like GOG is doing it in an open and gamer friendly manner (in contrast to Epic).
Hope this idea succeeds.
Also, Steam exclusives. Ugh.
Epic giving a better share to the developer is quite a good thing actually. They may have this aggressive exclusivity strategy but from what ive seen in terms of customer support they aren't really worse than steam.
Obviously gog is doing the best job now but we need to stop acting like npc meme with this epic stuff
@@DTB1752
Yea you should stop defending them like an npc.
@@david8157 You are aware that a larger share to the developer could lead to cheaper games? Epic is also giving away loads of free games to lure people to their platform. Not that I like Epic games, but they are definitely not the root of the problem.
This entire unified platform thing CDPR is setting up is also just a way to get people to download and use GOG. Consumer friendliness is a succesfull business strategy.
Nothing should be exclusive. We should promote video game inclusivity rather than exclusivity. GOG has for a long time had this mentality, and I highly appreciate their integrity. Starting with going DRM-free from the start, as well as GOG connects, which got you games for free on GOG if you owned a game on a different platform. This can't always be done so 2.0 sounds like an excellent solution.
Before I buy a digital game I check GOG first. The more support they get the better it is for us as a consumer.
I'm super stoked on this. This is exactly what I've been bitching about for months. I have friends on different systems, spread from hell to breakfast, and I can never tell who is on where.
really? they're either on teamspeak or discord, otherwise they're not on. simple as that
just a prettier version of other launchers (discord has this but shit visual) imo this looks nice which we need a good service like this that looks good
"spread from hell to breakfast" lmao okay I love that line. Very funny
This is amazing wish the best of luck to them👍

Other devs/publishers: How can we make money?
CDPR: How can we make money by satisfying gamers needs and wants?
Just like Steam, I think GOG is going to go down in PC gaming history as a big, pro consumer company. Do you agree?
@@user-tm3fz7qx3s Yes
@@DBBravo Compare Valve to Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. Valve is more pro consumer than them, but they're more anti-consumer than GOG.
I´m buying Cyberpunk 2077 on GOG, no other platform is worth it in my opinion!
Same here👍
Noice
if CP2077 will come to steam , ill have to take on the steam side sorry xD
epic FTW . jk
I'm totally agree with you
This is what all PC users are waiting for since a long time ! Thanks guys and i will definitely use it.
Comparing prices across clients
trivago for gamers??
Video game:gog
No self respecting capitalist is going to allow that feature for someone elses client. Itll be a miracle if they can get origin/uplay/epic/steam/blizz on board for just sharing friendslists.
Just buy em from g2a or kinguin nobody uses the stores anymore on these platforms atleast the people that have a brain
@@WhirlwindHeatAndFlash it can just be that it's not integrated into the core apps but' after a user downloads all of the clients he can forget about them and the GOG store then communicate on the pc with the interface and the app, not even messing with needing permission from the online distributor of the platform in question
I will wholeheartedly support this
I heard a month before that GOG have a risk to bankrupt. They loss sales for a year.
Hope, they can survive. I love GOG because DRM-free.
GOG is the reason why I haven't give up on PC gaming. Hopefully, they will be able to get some more Japanese games on their platform in the future.
One of my biggest beefs with Epic is that they're screwing with GOG. Steam can get by, it's not like missing some games is going to affect them in any major way(though still fuck Epic), but GOG is much smaller and missing bigger profile games is a bigger deal for them, not to mention they're the only ones doing only DRM-free games. Again, fuck Epic.
@@stebsis I completely agree with you man, feck Epic is my thoughts exactly. I unfortunately have to use their service as I got an offer for a copy of Metro Exodus for free. I really was hoping I could use the Steam client to download it but unfortunately that wasn't the case so I had to download the Epic store which I really despise but of course to make matters worse there are three games that are only coming to the Epic store that I would really love to get my hands on that never made it to the PC gaming community at all which thoroughly pissed me off and that was Quantic dream's Detroit Become Human, Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls and I really would love to get my hands on them but I don't use console so unfortunately Epic has me by the balls if I want to play them.
@@stebsis you're not entitled to have games being sold in whatever is your platform of choice. Publishers are free to put their products wherever they want and you're free to not buy them, so stop whining
@Omega owned by big company still not saving you from bankrupt. See Sega console, see Nokia in the past, see Xbox now, see Google Apps that have been fallen,...see devs that EA's owned..., etc.
Ooh. Holy shit open source! Damn, I can already see what other projects like lutris could do with that.
Open source, well that will allow us to answer how it calls home.
Connect steam friend? And steam workshop.
"What's in it for the gamer?"
*_carefully he's a hero_*
Careful, *
@@CharalamposKoundourakis it's a meme, should still have a comma though
Do yourself a favor, use GOG over the alternatives whenever possible. If a game is on GOG and their competitors, buying it on GOG is one of the best things you can do to push the industry in a consumer friendly direction.
Yeah! But unfortunately Epic doesn't want any competitions and will do anything to destroy any competitions for their bottom line (profits) and for their own amusement.
Disagree, Steam has way more consumer friendly features. GOG also barely has any Linux support while claiming to be the champions of DRM free philosphy. It's hypocritical, especially when they make money off so much open source projects like dosbox.
better have an account on all: steam, origins, uplay and than connect them with GOG :D
@@snake-v9t it's not hypocritical, they just need to prioritize what brings them money
@Filipe Saramago Not to mention it's up to the developers and publishers to push linux support for their games, while most games have Vulcan apu (which Linux natively support out of the box) not all devs and pubs use or support it.
It's good to see developers working for the gaming community than thinking about their pockets.
If there's one company that's worth protecting, it's CD Projekt Red. They've spent all their time making the audience happy while they're at the edge of death and they deserve all good in this industry. Valve has fallen off heaven.
Well valve isn't perfect, but they are far from the worst so I have no real problem to use them.
Cdpr are still the only ones that want to make good content for gamers.
As long as i can continue to download drm free game installers on GOG so i can play via backup when im travelling or my bloody internet connection is broken again ill continue to buy every game on GOG if it is available.
Offline matters.
DRM-free is the only way we go :D
@@gog - well for single-player at least, users have to use Galaxy for some multiplayer and some people consider that DRM
Steam actually offers this as well.
@@Haos666 Okay whatever have never heard of it or seen anyone use that feature (if it actually exists - it probably doesnt lmao), patch rollback and easy optional patches as well as larger cuts for developers if you need more reasons.
As it is right now - GOG is the place to buy. No contest.
@@WhirlwindHeatAndFlash He meant that you can play offline on Steam too
I always had a lot of respect for gog. But making the store open source? Sold.
CDPR always does good
if they're not on top of patching the client, this can open it up to security risks and exploits. This seems more like a con than a pro to me
@@sonicsng Theoretically security is one of the primary boons of open source, if a volnerability is found, anyone with the know how can contribute to the fix, so It would be as easy as CDPR approving the fix and commiting the update. With proprietary software it's often much easier for malicious actors to obviscate the problem, because only the company can see the bigger picture. As opposed to every armchair hacker and there mom.
It's the same basic concept that encryption uses, trying to hide some new form of encryption you have made only means it has less eyes on it. The most effective forms of encryption are the oldest ones, the ones that have been looked over a dozen times over. Because the more people that look at it and can't break it, the less likely someone new will be able to break it too.
@@rjswonson Hence why SSL is so popular 👌
do they mean real open source, like the whole client?
Epic: We have the best launcher and storefront!
CDPR: Hold my ciderpunk
Cider is good compared to Fortnite.
okay can someone appreciate startv's comment pls XD
More like CDPR: Hold my Voldka
More like CDPR: Lay off the Vodka, Epic.
Hope they will add "Big screen" mode and controller support.
Yeah is there a problem with controller support? I cant for the life of me get use my xbox pad for witcher 3
Cuz it's open source someone might just add it themselves
I’ve been asking for so long why is there no third party launcher for all launchers and boom Poland comes to save the day

PC platform should be labelled as *GOG Galaxy* as the icon when games are being showcased that comes to PC.
Not Epic Games Store
True
It's actually steam.
its actually just PC or Windows
@@heshiram1188 Well the problem is Epic Games Exclusives are somehow labeling their games as PC Platform, when they don't actually own the the PC platform at all. It's like if Ubisoft labels UPlay as PC or Bethesda labelling Bethesda Launcher games as PC as well. The PC platform had the most launchers/game stores compared to the closed ecosystem of consoles. So being a game on EGS as exclusive =/= PC platform
Steam and GOG should be the icon of PC game stores.
It would be cool if they had the prices of games from each client as well. If Steam has a sale on a game and Epic store doesnt, it should display the discounted price in the GOG Galaxy 2.0 app.
That'd be cool
There is razor cortex but I still agree nonetheless
if it is open source, Honey could even develop a plugin that checks for discount codes across platforms as well.
They better add a discord integration with this. It would be incredibly awesome.
This is a much needed idea! I'm surprised other companies like Valve/Steam didn't do it earlier.
valve is focusing on artifact
@@slumberstudio4757 I hear the game itself is decent, but barely anyone plays it
but would Sony EA Ubisoft Epic Activison help valve tho? probably not, CPR is not seen as a competitor to them like Steam is.
You got my vote GOG, one of the few companys that actually value their customers.
Thanks you CD project and particularly GOG!!!
Love CDPR.
They made GOG?
Actually, it's CD Projekt, the parent company, who owns GOG. CDP is a major polish game publisher, and CDPR is their subsidiary, their own gamedev studio. CDPR had nothing to do with GOG, they just develop games.
Also there is a reason why in the background they show a box of The Witcher 3.
I was wondering why there hasn't been a client that connected all others into 1 and felt bad for PC users, nice to see it has finally become a reality 🙃
Eh, freedom and better deals come at the price of some fragmentation. Don't feel bad, this is still better than the alternative.
GOG is so chill, they care about delivering quality and not about fighting piracy or what the consumers want. They are the best there is, surely.
I’ve been thinking about this idea for months! I’m sure a lot of gamers have. Finally it’s been done!
GOG Galaxy is going to be my new go-to
I hope they pull this off.
Holy shit open source?! The average gamer does not know how important this is haha! I wish it will have encryption for chats and calls though.
Either way, I'll still use Telegram for chats.
Edit: (Why didn't I watch the full video?) It seems these guys are definitely going to handle privacy better than all the other clients. Especially better than stuff like Discord. Great business practices too.
ORO 0147 it can have encryption easily.
But what's the point? Just more cpu intensive with no gain whatsoever.
If they have your account details, they can scrape all your chats. It's all available on the api of steam and probably other platforms.
@@Ownage4lif31
1. Encryption nowadays has no overhead. Literally none. Maybe just a bit but it's seriously impossible to notice. Either you're incredibly misinformed or don't know what you're talking about.
2. That's not how accounts work. Passwords are stored in hashes if it's any a reputable company. This means they can't get access to your chats or account unless they break the encryption or guess your password. Loads of companies unfortunately say this but break your trust by mining your metadata or outright removing encryption. Eg. WhatsApp, Facebook.
3. Let's say they use e2e encryption, which they won't because it's a sync service. But hypothetically speaking, if they do, then even if someone has access to your password and account details, they still wouldn't be able to access your chats since e2e chats are device specific.
1. You're wrong, encryption has an overhead. It all depends on the cpu, device and encryption method used.
WPA3 itself presents this issue. It can only handle up to 16 concurrent connections, takes around 10-15seconds to authenticate due to the nature of its crypto. This means routers get more expensive, since they require more advanced hardware to handle it.
RSA isn't that computational as a base, but usually most companies use it on top of other crypto methods which makes it a bit more secure. However, it doesn't make this secure at all when someone already knows your password.
Passwords can easily be cracked, even when they are hashed. They are just compared from rainbow tables until a hit then that's the pw (this is a short version of it cause I cbf explaining this again).
2. I wasn't talking about pw hashes, I was talking about the data this program will scrape from each api. Chat logs, friends, games owned etc. There's literally no point to encrypt it when it requires them to know your user and password to get them. If you're hacked, you're screwed anyway. Sure, they can encrypt the current chats in progress, you can use rsa to encrypt the traffic sent. But in general, it won't really make a difference...
No doubt they'd encrypt it server side, to prevent people from reading it if a database was breached. But client side encryption is pointless as hell, for something that's already public.
3. The issue with e2e encryption, unique to devices, is that you won't be able to store it in a db. Meaning it's device specific. You can talk and then magically login to a new device, none of what you said will make sense. Usually how this is done, is by setting a public and private key between the clients, so you will see "hello" and they will see something like 9238 38828 3828 2382 (given, it'll be longer) which translates into that. However, this will require it to have a dynamic buffer.
tl;dr: it's pointless, but there will most likely be a mod since it's open source for such a thing. But I doubt they'll implement it themselves, it's the same reason why discord refused to add such a thing. There's no point if they can't store it.
So some people had to make a plugin for it via better discord.
There's a lot I could talk about, but I just don't have the time to.
In short, it won't benefit anyone to have this implemented publicly from the company themselves. But as a mod, sure, it wouldn't hurt anybody.
@@Ownage4lif31 no one worth their salt uses hash functions that are vulnerable to precomputation attacks.
pun intended :)
GOG? more like GOD if that actually happens xD
I was just planning to write that
God is good old downloads, a site that was used for downloading gog games for free.
GOD OF GAMINGS
Its..currently a thing?
Now, steam and epic will find a way to block this feature of gog 2.0.
@@x-x_x Well I couldn't care less. It's not like anyone uses the Epic games launcher as a social platform in the same way people use steam.
Steam is pretty consumer friendly, so I don't believe they would have anything against that. But there would definitely be problems with the implementation of this system. I can't imagine how you would use things like the workshop or marketplace.
@@Tibovl Epics only thing is their exclusives, it's a lazy way to force people Into giving your profits and they will fight tooth and nail to keep it, I doubt they'll let GOG do this willingly, having said that I'm sure eventually GOG will find a way around it
@@anon9507 I don't see what that has to do with my comment
@@Tibovl Point is, without exclusives no one would use epic, and they know this
I've been saying this for years: what GOG needs is their own version of Steam Wallet cards, widely available for purchase at video game stores, convenience stores, post offices and supermarkets across the globe.
The game saviours 👌🏽make sure to separate games by Mac/PC if the functionality hasn’t been put there. If it’s available for Mac in the first place
These people have such amazing ideas and they have a very unique drive that they just draw me into using their services. From games to their store, they are constantly pumping out nice content. Plus, it's great to see different approach to gaming industry. These guys are absolutely my favorite developers, hands down. Keep up the good work, amazing people!
i love these guys, so happy theyre doing this
i hope im getting into the beta 😂
A very humble approach! I love the philosophy behind the project. Consumers first, what a rarity nowdays
I saw an xkcd comic once, it went something like this:
SITUATION: There are 14 competing standards.
"14?! Ridiculous we need a universal standard to cover every use case"
SITUATION: There are 15 competing standards.
This is what CDPR is doing right now
@@berthold64 That's why he wrote it. On a video talking about this topic. In the comment section.
It was the comic about linux and its poor standarization
Of course this is a different situation. No other "standard", or platform in this case, has made an effort to implement the other platforms. It's not competing, it's doing something different.
These guys are pure gold! Hypeee!
Amazing, I've been wanting this for years.
It's so refreshing to see people working with the gamer in mind and now how to squeeze every cent out of them with loot-boxes ect...
“It’s not all about sells it’s about your relationship to your customer, your gamers.” Exact reason CD Projekt Red is about to have the biggest game sells ever with cyberpunk 2077. Also the most successful PC client platform
You know what you deserve it when i get home im getting Gwent and pre ordering CyberPunk 2077 on GOG thanks guys.
Well, Gwent is free-to-play, so it won't cost money to try it out, and CyberPunk 2077 isn't available for pre-order on GOG yet. It is nice to know that there are others who like using GOG, though.
I will buy Witcher 3 today on GOG. You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work.
These ideas are so beautiful!!! Can't wait for them to be put forth!
Totally on board with this. Signed up for 2.0 closed beta!
I hope that GOG Galaxy 2.0 works natively on Linux.
It most likely will
Considering it's open-source, even if it isn't it might pretty quickly.
why linux? windows is just better all around for gaming
Xsauced Because I personally prefer Linux over Windows.
@@AshtonSnapp ok but if you really want to play games, it's stupid to stick with linux
🔥 🔥 I've wanted this for a long time.
Sounds good... When is Linux support coming? :)
gog is already on linux
I vote for this company with my wallet and appreciation.
You nailed every concern, need and want that we've begged for
and so you shall be rewarded with my wallet, time and appreciation, it's that simple.
Thank you very much.
GOG ppl get it. Please find a way to also aggregate achievements from different launchers.
They already confirmed that they will add all achievements as well.
Brilliant. Im signing up for the beta.
This is how you get my business. You have won me over. They are thinking about what we need and what we want to see as PC gamers. Thanks GoG, you just won yourself a new customer.
Sounds interesting. I will check it out. I have so many platforms so one where I can launch every game and chat with everyone is a good idea.
I'm very happy to hear you guys are building this app. I can't wait to start using it. I'm also very interested to see how you manage games purchased on multiple platforms. Ie what happens in the UI when I own the same game in Steam And the Epic store.
GOG > Epic Games Store
Anything > EPS
To even write GOG (and CDPR) and Epic Games Store in the same sentence, is a crime.
Stay brave, Gamers, we're alone in this war 😎😎😎
Pretty much the #1 obvious statement of 2019... No $hit Sherlock! 😂
Games For Windows Live> Epic Game Store(That's how shit they are)
Much respect to these two guys. Doing the things others wont. Also doing something that wont bring in much money, but doing something the user needs (since we are so fragmented via launchers).
Good luck guy. Rooting for you during the discussions.
Open source! We need to implement proton for Linux in it! (^^)
yeah, i really want to play gog games on linux
I found a few applications by some indie devs that have been trying this but those are always eating CPU or RAM, I am super excited to see CD Projekt create a platform like this. All my support!
Ofcourse GoG are the guys comming up with this :)
Already signed up the GoG Galaxy 2.0 Beta. I can't wait to try it out!
Same.
GoG store is the store that sells games for the highest price in my country. For example, Witcher 3 is normally 11 USD on steam for my country, but in GoG store is is 40 USD which is insane.
Never switching to GoG unless they fix their pricing
Then you live in some strange geography, i have never seen a game listed on GOG that was higher than anywhere else unless it was on sale there, i also recently bought a game on GOG with two DLC's alongside that were all 75% "less" than the other site, i would suggest a a change of citizenship.
@@pappysshoes6563 nah man that should be the case for you. I buy games for cheaper idot
its about time someone did this
I'm really pulling for GOG. I feel like they biggest problem is they're game selection is pretty lacking on the games I want to play. I do buy from GOG whenever available though. CDP all seem like genuine folks and I hope that pays off.
Having this 2.0 ecosystem might end up making this criticism void but I'd still rather buy from them over Steam when given the option.
Great work GS, more than I expected from a Mainstream Games media outlet. I remember GS from nearly 20 years ago, and this is the kind of quality content I really like. Thanks for the production and more importantly, thanks for the GOG interview spotlight without the clatter and noise of other outlets.
Love GOG Galaxy ❤❤❤
I think the real benefit from this is that now you would be connected with all your online friends from every platform.
Being able to connect to all of the other platforms would be amazing! I use GoG to play all of my super gold games from the 90's. Allowing to chat with friends from one area no matter who is playing on what is the best, now if we could get cross play between PC and all consoles! I hope one day I will be able to play on the platform I like with my friends that want to play on their own preferred platform.
Hopefully, it will also support voice chat.
Console will need fully mouse and keyboard support first, because the problem is on FPS game controller will be destroyed easily by mouse and keyboard. Plus Nintendo seem like make different approachment for their console, so seem like Nintendo users can't do that
Great reminder to support GOG and CD Projekt whenever possible. It also pushes the whole business in a more consumer friendly direction. Their business model, for game development and game store, is so strongly built around delighting customers.
That will be the best thing ever
i could finally stop using 4 different clients
it doesnt look like they covered the "multiple clients" part in this interview. yes you will be able to see all your games, but it looks like you still need to launch the other clients. gog looks to be just a big wrapper, something like how steam needs to launch uplay when playing a ubisoft game. so in this case, you might need to launch gog to launch steam to launch uplay
@@kennychong8887 yeah that would be dumb just another client
@@Big_Worm89 Well the whole point is not having to use multiple clients. You probably will still need to Download the clients and lino them to GOG. But then after this is done either put them to one side or just delete to icons on the home screen.
Whichever way you cut its better than having to through different clients to get different games.
This is the greatest thing ever developed! I'll love to use this all the time!
This does not eliminate the fact that when you launch a game from GOG, the game is probably going to need to be launched from their respective owners, like Steam or Uplay.
Just like the fact that when you launch R6 Siege from Steam today you need to have Uplay as a second client in order to play it.
This will probably just put all the games in one place making them easier to find, and hopefully your friends as well.
Yeah, but I'm fine with that, at least all my games will be under one roof and I just have to launch GOG to play them, after I start R6 siege, it will run Uplay, and when done playing, it will automatically close Uplay to free RAM, so no more 2-4 launchers will hog my RAM, just GOG will be there and the rest will just launch when we need to play a particular game...
Day 1 download for me. So excited for this. I love supporting GOG
All my friends lists are empty but having one place to organise all my games is handy
are you me
This is incredible! I'm just waiting for the launch and I'll sure test it.
Already using GOG Galaxy and will update as soon as the 2.0 version becomes available.
Are you going to try out the closed beta?
@@Loco0089 No. I'll wait for the proper release version.
@@sitordan You can sign up for the closed beta, check the new features and then get back to 1.2 until we release officially - of course that's if you won't fall in love with 2.0 immediately ;)
@@gog I'll give it a try then. Thank you, guys!
@@sitordan That's cool. Normally, I don't like to beta test anything, but since I'll be GOG Galaxy a fare bit, I'm making an exception for it.
These guys are the angles of the industry the saviors!! please never change
I wonder if Steam will add this feature with their new UI? They could have it so that every added game is also hooked with the Steam overlay so that all your games anywhere will get fully customizable controller support.
A game launcher that’s open source, able to launch all of my games from different clients, and able to open my friends lists?! This is what I’ve been waiting for
When the Corsair april fools joke turns out to be true
Would totally support it when it launches :)
The main reason for the other store front is the 30% cut, if they still get that cut but on other store fronts, I doubt most will care what store front the games are on.
What I think Gog could do to make things even more enticing is in Gog Galaxy where you have the Gog store near the bottom left, they could have access to all the other store fronts you've signed in so you can see and buy games from any of them, the benefits of that for consumers are two fold, one you have easy access to all the store fronts and games where you can buy from any and two, there would likely be a lot less resistance from the other store fronts if all the stores are getting exposure, they might even allow where you can install and launch games without even having the other store front installed, in the end, they mostly only care about the 30% cut and the store exposures, if they did the above, they still get both of them.
They should also do a Linux compliant work. It's just a few step to make games work on Linux.
Galaxy has a linux client so semi expect one for 2.0 too. Even if not, can run it off wine like i do now with bnet.
Making your own client run on Linux doesn't change the platform the game was developed for, that is up to the game developers, but Wine should work like before. If the client is open source, I imagine it won't take long for someone to build a plugin that automatically launches Wine when a Windows only game is launched from the Linux client.
gog is love , just went on and bought a little game as a little more support 😻
One of the things i want to know is can we access Steam Workshop, Forums, Ect from GOG Galaxy 2.0
Thank you GOG. You're the one launcher I actually don't mind having installed. And after this I might actually use it over Steam.
We don't deserve CD Projekt. They are too good.
Yeah. such a wonderful company who treats workers like slaves in order to spit out one mediocre game out of like 30 games they made in total. I know people who worked there, one of them left saying that "he would rather be homeless" than come back. But hey you got a cool launcher.
@@kiddhkane I don't think anyone would believe you without any proof. What you said were true there would have been articles about it. Probably some disgruntled employee who said that.
@@kiddhkane this is exaggerated. The crunch is real, the pay is too low, it's true. But it's not that bad. It's similar to any other mid-sized studio.
Tetsuo, listen to neoqueto, no one benefits from fanboyism and they don't have an unstained past, just people that forget especially after they do something nice. Now I am not saying that CD Project RED is bad, I admire their work quite a lot.
Yeah, typical fanboys. You show them the truth and they ignore it... I'm gonna stop wasting my breath on you.
Reasonable people being reasonable how amazing and needed!
