LiamH Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Don't know if anyone has tried GOG Galaxy, looks like GOG.com is making a move on steam and has their own installer/launcher app. As part of the push you can sync your steam library with GOG and they will gift you any games they can DRM free, I got a few older/indy games gifted, it helps that there is a huge sale on over at GOG.com right now, i picked up a few games much cheaper than on steam all DRM free
sonofsanta Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I got it recently (having had a GOG account for years) because it was a damn sight easier than downloading all the Witcher 3 patches & applying them manually GOG are awesome.

Likewise, i bought all 3 witcher games on GOG cheaper than witcher 3 on steam alone. I used to just use it for old nostalgic games like dungeon keeper, constructor and theme hospital.
Sagima Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I have witcher 3 on it - cheapest way to get it. It's strange the internal struggle I have at buying games on gog that have trading cards on steam even if it would be much cheaper to just buy a booster pack for it almost everytime. Even though I don't really care about them I feel as if I'm missing out
LeMarchand Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Being a tightwad, I buy the games wherever they're cheapest and so have a few on GOG. Never seen the point of Steam trading cards and achievements; I ain't got time fo' dat. What's the advantage to using Galaxy above just downloading?

For the large games with multiple download files it handles it for you. Also auto updates the games and keeps them all organized a lot like steam
sonofsanta Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Yeah, it's just a convenience thing. It's deliberately built to be entirely optional. I never bothered until I saw the list of W3 install files
