We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
the disconnections have completely turned me away from it. i waste time each time i launch it fixing all the integrations.
So... GOG takes the 30% cut of the 12% cut that Epic takes? lol
I get the convenience of a unified store... but I'd still rather buy the game in a better ecosystem. EGS version still doesn't have achievements, right?
Also, since there are "hand-picked", I'm guessing only games without DRM will show up on the GOG store pages... and that still rules out most major publishers.
Interesting experiment, though.
I think they are only tied to the EGS account if I am getting this right.
It has achivemenst, but theres no easy way of exploring those achivements if its not pressing alt+F3 (IIRC) during the game you are playing.
Or at least i havent found the way.
Thats how i saw my achivemetns from Railway Empire.

GoG Galaxy beta tests buying games from multiple PC stores
After doing a lot to put all your games from different pc launchers into one place, they are now looking into allowing you to shop for games from other PC stores (starting with Epic) through their own GoG store...

This is only a positive development if the games are DRM-free, which doesn't really seem to be the case unless I'm missing something.
When I last used it, the "Friends" section just showed friends from GOG. You could see friends of other platforms and what they played on the right side but don't remember an option to chat there.
More people using the GOG store and client = more chances for future sales. The goal is to become THE client for PC gamers, a one stop shop. If they can do that, they'll see their own sales skyrocket.
Like I made sure to buy Cyberpunk off the GOG store as I want to support CDR as much as I can. I like what they are doing and trying to make PC gaming better.
If it's DRM free I'm okay with this. If not, boy is that makes buying games of GoG more concerning.
It won't be, this gog thing is no different than the stuff like cd keys or gmg, they just so happen to have a client.
Yeah, but I'm not sure it's realistic to expect an influx of users following a change like this. This has just as high a probability of losing spending customers as keeping them since you're introducing a competitive eco-system within your own. Customers might as well spend money on EGS instead of GOG, especially considering EGS offers a lot of AA/AAA-releases that GOG isn't. It's a hell of a gamble as I see it.
I love GOG, DRM free games deserve recognition, so I hope this move helps keep them alive. I also appreciate what GOG Galaxy 2.0 tried to do, but Playnite just works a lot better as a game library aggregator.
EGS is one of the few store front launchers that GOG Galaxy officially support. It can launch the games with minimal footprint of EGS store. At first I thought it launched it without EGS but I found out a background EGS process was launched, not a task bar process.
