Thank you everybody, I went with Heroic Launcher

I’d like to log into my GoG account and click on “install game” from within the game store without having to manually download the installer, manually install the game, and then add it to the game store to act as a launcher (like steam does). Seems to defeat the purpose of a game store.

Purchasing the game on the web is fine, it’s more the game management aspect I’m looking for. Does that exist?

    It’s basically a webbrowser with a single page running so it has a considerable amount of overhead.

        Yes. Being an Electron app does not mean that the Software is bad, it might matter for old/low ram systems and I would usually prefer something more native if there is an alternative. It is quick to develop on and people used to web technologies can quickly find their way around.

          Thank you for taking the time to explain :)

          For now, my system is good enough and Heroic was super easy to use, so I’ll stick with it.
