Or at least a drm free installer.

I guess I’ll stock up on gog installers for games I own on Steam if Steam ever becomes the villain.

I would encourage you to support GoG before you have to rely on them, otherwise if everyone does like you they may not be able to sustain their business.

It's a bit akin to waiting for a crash before putting your seatbelt on.

If GOG benefitted Linux users as much as steam does then Yea, I'd be throwing cash at them every payday. I love GOG and what they do, but I also need to show support for what valve is doing for Linux too.

They gave the Heroic Launcher devs an affiliate link, so while they don't really support Linux they at least approve of it
