It came off as hostile but maybe I misread.

How does it not fix the problem? You can buy a gog game, add it to Steam and launch it with Proton. You'd just be using Steam instead of the gog launcher you want.

The problem is the launcher. He does not want one.

This is directly from the comment I replied to:

I would buy from GOG too, if they provided Linux support in form of an official launcher

No need for an official launcher when you can just use Steam as a launcher.

Steam does more than launch games, you realize this, right? They want gog to have a launcher on Linux that will manage their library for them, not just launch their game.
