Another option is to buy through Heroic Games Launcher. Heroic gets a cut, and GOG sees what they'd have to do to earn your entire dollar.

Completely forgot about that, I do really like the Heroic Launcher.

What? You can buy gog games through heroic?

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Yeah, it just launches a web browser in the client, but behind the scenes, it's using a referral code in partnership with GOG to make sure they get a cut. So you can support DRM-free and Linux gaming support at the same time.

thanks for spreading the word

looks like the solution i needed for all the smaller more useless launchers. wich it included connectability to ea/ubi/battleNet's launchers too

Xbox for example seems more solid to me as a gamerscore addict for example. Steam obviously the main standard you wouldnt want to compress
