I think the bigger complaint is that, when Galaxy was released, GOG said (back in 2015)

A Linux version of our client is planned eventually ... Stay tuned for future announcements

Ten years is plenty of time to implement a launcher, or at least give a planned timeline

Sure, third parties have done it with Heroic, etc. but promising support and not delivering leaves a really bad taste to me

CDProjekt/GOG said the same thing about Cyberpunk 2077, their biggest product ever, and in the year 2025 I'm still running the Windows version of that through Proton because they give no fucks.

Or to give literally any kind of update, like admitting it was never seriously planned.

I thought they said they're not doing it now?
