In an interview with PC Gamer, KiciĆski and managing director Maciej GoĆÄbiewski were asked whether GOG had plans to focus more on Linux going forward, given a growth in pro-Linux and anti-Windows sentiment among some PC players.
âYes, we are,â GoĆÄbiewski replied, stating that Linux was âone of the things that weâve put in our strategy for this year to look closer atâ.
âI donât want to commit to any specifics, but certainly you will see this trend, and we also see that Linux is close to the hearts of our users, so we probably could do better on that front, and thatâs something that weâll be looking at,â he added.
KiciĆski then addressed the current state of Windows, saying he was âreally surprisedâ that it continues to hold such a large market share despite its issues.
âItâs such poor-quality software and product, and Iâm so surprised that itâs [spent] so many years on the market,â he said. âI canât believe it.â

Client for what?
You only need galaxy for cyberpunk
I did not need galaxy to play cyberpunk in my linux machine
You donât need their client for anything other than downloading and purchasing. Iâve played CP2077 with out GOG installed. They use no DRM
From what Iâve read Galaxy allows for downloading specific version of the games.
Might be misremembering, so take it with a pinch of salt

It seems itâs mostly âproper cloud savingâ thatâs missing relative to Heroic đ€·
You can select versions using Heroic Games Launcher as well. It's a little bit hidden as you need to select 'Modify installation', but it's there. As far as I know it's not a limitation by HGL that it can only select 5 versions, that's just how many versions GOG have made available.
Is there something wrong with Heroics cloud saves? I havent tried using my saves on a windows system using Galaxy, but theyâve worked across devices running Heroic.
Doesnât work for me across OSâs. Playing on Linux at home and windows at the office, I canât get cloud saves to work without me manually doing stuff.
weird, I wonder why it worked for me. i havent used it in a while, so maybe Iâm misremembering something or something just changed
