And there's heroic, but both aren't the same thing as native platform support. Steam has game listings for games that are made for Linux and Mac. You install the official steam client and click "play". No other platform has that.

There are more or less convenient ways to run the games from gog, epic, Amazon, ... on Linux. But none of them have official support or even carry any native games at all.

I don't even know how it worked, but the official GoG listing for Factorio doesn't have the linux binary on it, but when I logged into GoG via Heroic Launcher, I had the option to install that rather the Win binary though Wine/Proton.

The official GoG listing definitely mentions the Linux version. Just like every other game on GoG that has a Linux versions available.

hmm. It does.

I don't think I saw it listed in GoG's mac launcher when I last looked, but it's not worth the effort to double check that at this point.
