All very true; I just with GoG Galaxy wasn't such a POS.
But all these clients are massive pieces of shit, so I dont know what I expect ๐
Yeah, I wish they would just simplify it and focus on what matters. Sync saves to the cloud, and let me install and launch my games. I don't need it to be some cross-service game launcher. I don't need social features. I just want my games ๐คฃ!
Personally I just download the exe files and install them. Means I won't automatically get patches though.
Hmm. That got me thinking. I've seen unofficial API documentation for GoG. Maybe it's possible to create a Telegram bot that lets me know when a game I own has a new version available ๐ค.
There's probably an RSS feed somewhere that can do that kind of thing.
Maybe that's the next target for the Fediverse, game distribution ๐
Definitely something I'll be looking into when I have the time (the RSS thing, not the Fediverse game distribution thing ๐คฃ).
