I truly hope so too, and I think so. GOG have so far not delivered any AI slop.

I’ve heard in the past that they did but I haven’t checked myself.

I know that if you buy a GOG game through Heroic, they get some money.

Honestly, I would be ok if they would just start funding Heroic (or the GOG client it uses) directly.

I hope they do a better job than epic on their gog galaxy for linux.

Indeed and also id like to see some missing native versions that already are on steam.

They’ve actually started work on GOG GALAXY for Linux (source: gamingonlinux.com/2026/07/gog-confirm-they-are-working-towards-gog-galaxy-on-linux). Hopefully, this news means they’ll be releasing it as a beta version, or that they’re actually ready to release it as a full version.

Agreed. Heroic works pretty well, but it would be nice to have native GOG Galaxy.

Interesting. I hope they have some plans for linux aswell.

I’m not interested and don’t like that it’s gonna create more plastic waste, but I’m happy for the people who might enjoy it and I’m always rooting for GOG.

You already get the thing that's installable forever when you buy a digital game from GOG lol.

Longevity or actual ownership arent reasons to buy physical at GOG, this would pretty much just be for the novelty. In which case i would want the original nostalgic box arts.

That'd be a lot better than all the "vibe-coded" recompilations. GOG itself is guilty of using gen AI, as evident from its store banners.

The idea is to let players buy boxed versions of games directly from their GOG library and have them delivered to their homes.

If it's full blown 90s box art with a CD and the same price as the game you already bought, that would be terrible.

If it's something archivial quality that has a reasonable expectation to last and be installable for decades and is (mostly) a flat fee, that would be pretty cool.

Although you could still do it yourself more efficiently.

"Tell me you use PHP without telling me you use PHP"

Between NextCloud and Wordpress, this is a headache.

Not that NextCloud is a bad, it’s just widely deployed by people who are t strictly following releases.

The graphics are amazing, but the story was too weird for me. Choose random characters, regret, play a bit, realize that if you want to see all the endings you must play multiple times with different characters, stop playing.

That's nice to hear. Though, haven't tried II but I was quite mediocre in my opinion. It was not a game that captivate me like older FF titles.

I'll finally choose to purchase it and I've been wanting to play it for years now. Great news

Two are already set:
I just recently thought about Battle Isle, which by chance also is on sale, so I will definitely get that classic out of nostalgic reasons.
And I really enjoyed playing the first Tomb Raider Remastered Batch and so will get the next one (part IV-VI).

On a less casual note, I am also really curious about the Kingdom Come games, so might also give them a try.

Sounds good! I remember quite liking Shadow of Mordor, though not enough to pick up the sequel. Hope you enjoy it!

I'm not them but I grabbed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

On a whim I also grabbed Middle Earth: Shadow of War since the bad reviews are about it being woke or having black characters, so I figured it's worth playing.

Anything particular you're thinking of picking up?

Just when I finally had managed to go through some of my existing backlist...
Well, here we go again with new supply, backlist longer than ever! :-)

nice

This doesn’t work, because Galaxy has for some unknown reasons decided to label my Steam games as “other”.

I’ve tried it, multiple times.
