DLC/add-on management!) it’s already much better than any other client out there.Our Recommendations for macOS Game Structure Sure, it won’t be a carbon copy of Steam in every respect, but would you really want it to be? :o So I’m not sure what you’re referring to with “realistically Galaxy is never going to offer that”. In fact, that’s how the GOG Galaxy beta started. One of its main appeals in the future will be adding multiplayer support to games that no longer have it. After installing your games you can close the client, add the executables to Steam… and play your GOG games through Steam with all those Steam community features in place.Īlso Galaxy kinda already includes the things you’ve mentioned: chat & matchmaking. But you can absolutely use GOG Galaxy as just a download client with safe & resume functionality. Steam is a forced client that has to be running AND connected for you to do anything at all with your games. It’s about as close to default as they can make it without forcing everyone into downloading clients they (apparently) don’t want. There’s even a big Try Galaxy button right above those downloadable files. The first thing you see in your Library? A banner for Galaxy. One of the first things you see on the GOG front page is a banner for Galaxy. Guess I’m going to have to find something else to do. Good thing we have all these launchers competing on sales though, right? Or wait, was that 3rd-party game sites selling Steam/GOG/whatever keys? I honestly don’t even remember the last time I bought a game within Steam, or any client. ![]() Or how Witcher 3 is requiring this nonsense, bringing up the total number of game launchers on my machine to 3-5, depending on if you count and uPlay or not. If ME3 were on Steam, we’d sure as shit have seen a dozen DLC sales by now. And, you know, my entire library of titles end up moving to GOG where I could have bought them in some parallel DRM-free world.Ĭompetition is good though, right? Yeah, it’s worked out great when Mass Effect 3 is trapped on Origin and the goddamn DLC never goes on sale because EA doesn’t have the balls to reign in Bioware’s insane adherence to their arcade token currency. Or my Steam account gets closed under mysterious circumstances and never gets sorted out. All to avoid some hypothetical apocalyptic scenario in which one of the most successful videogame companies and digital storefronts of all time shuts down the money-printing machines. So here I sit, five hours later, starting the download from scratch within the Galaxy client and deleting 30+ GB of game files that would have instantly, invisibly worked on Steam ages ago.
