Maybe I'm not old enough but I don't remember a time before game DRM, when it was physical games they required you to have the disk inserted to play. The only difference was they were easier to crack and less invasive without online requirement.

it's how indie games are
No regional pricing though. GOG is outrageously expensive in my country compared to steam.

It really is great if you're on Windows, but I've run into issues installing GOG content on Linux.
I almost always used the windows version on Linux too. Personally I install via the exe installer like a caveman lol, but you can add your GOG account on Lutris and other programs to make it easier. Just found out about Minigalaxy, looks nice might try it.
It ain't great that there isn't an official Gog Galaxy for Linux. But we're still super grateful for the lack of DRM.
I haven't. Works great with Heroic Games Launcher.

I'll buy when there's a native linux client.
Until then, "arr, maties!"
...and no, I'm not having a morality discussion about piracy. I do it full-well knowing it's wrong.
Just use Heroic. A native linux client would just be worse and proprietary.
