They started supporting and cooperating with heroic launcher.

Thus heroic is the defacto official GOG launcher on linux.

What type of support and cooperation? And where it is documented, so I can read about it?

[–] ragas@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Weird. I can fibd no source on it. However I seem to distinctly remember that GOG announced to help heroic implement more cloud features.

That does not mean it never happened, we just can't find the source. I had this with my own statements in the past too, sometimes it was true sometimes I was wrong. Therefore I cannot trust everyone in the internet. What I can imagine is, that GOG worked on the GOG API (the programming interface for other tools) to add access to the Cloud features in example. It might came out of a request from the Heroic Launcher project. So in a sense GOG would cooperate. But this is just speculation on my part here.

Still the Heroic Launcher is a separate project doing all the work on their own.
