MODERATORS
Why do they dynamically link libs instead of static linking, or better yet, distributing an AppImage?
Could be licensing or decreased server costs with smaller executable downloads? Not sure without being a fly on the wall at GOG.
Static vs dynamic linking is a huge, flame war-triggering debate in software. Like the original vim vs emacs.
