    I suppose but the only reason I use gog is to download games without having to use a goddam launcher

    I’m sure many people want a launcher and as long as I can keep not using it I won’t care

    But not using a launcher is the reason I have a gog library

      TBH the only reason I even want a launcher is that game achievements require it. AFAIK this is possible with other launchers like Heroic, but I never bothered setting it up for the GOG games I do own.

        Ah well imo achievements have been a monumentally bad thing for gaming and culture so I have to say I hope they disappear anyway

          I like achievements. Outside the feeling of completion, they allow me:

          • to try some challenges I would never have the idea to try (e.g. the great Trine 2 achievements)
          • to decide when I am done with a game and can start up another.
          • to feel a bit proud when you achieve something only 5% or other players did.
