I hope he hands it over to someone who will continue his legacy

@HughJanus @greenskye I agree that gog is not supportive of games running on Linux unless that game is already a Linux game. Funny enough, said games may even be playable on Linux but gog will just have the windows port of that game on gog (Alien Isolation for example). So, I agree, if you are on Linux and use steam, then it’s clear to use steam like an iPhone user using Apple Music. It just works.this is where I say that steam should be more open so drm games on steam don’t need steam launcher

Yeah I did not and would not say that. I prefer GoG, all other things being equal. I just bought 6 GoG games this morning.

I bought Cuphead($14), 4 of the Batman Arkham games($4-5), and Hyper Jam ($4).

Also installed shortcuts for Xbox and Nvidia cloud gaming. Xbox is fairly impressive. Just played a couple of quick rounds of Fortnite. Nvidia I was waiting forever for a slot so I didn't get too far with that.
