No, people like you are the reason they will continue making money. People who actively advocate against alternatives.

I'm not advocating against alternatives, I'm saying there's no point in dropping your visibility to zero if there's not at least a semi-viable alternative to unify under.

You're just being obtuse on purpose.

Can you link me to the RSS feed for these “podcasts”? No? Then they’re not podcasts.

Nearly nobody uses RSS readers these days, people get their podcasts on other apps. The RSS feed isn't a defining feature of podcasts anymore and many of the biggest podcasts no longer use it. Out of the ones I linked, the smallest (and by far the best) one, Cortex, still has an official RSS Feed. Now show me a podcast with significant followership that does not host their content on Spotify, Apple or YouTube and is only available via the RSS feed.

It doesn’t matter if its DRM-free or not if it DOESN’T WORK.

What doesn't? Most GOG games seem to work just fine on Linux. Heroic Launcher? Idk, I don't use it much, it's unnecessary for GOG anyway, it's only really necessary for Epic which doesn't have download links on the website (I suppose you COULD also curl the games, but that requires more setup than most people would want to do, with cookies and everything)

These are not “apps”, they are terminal emulators, and they obviously don’t solve the problem I’m describing.

Open terminal, umu-run ~/games/some_game/some_game.exe. You can even use tab to auto complete parts of the path.

Done. Game's running, faster than any big GUI launcher opens, whether it be Steam, or GOG Galaxy.

That’s very obviously would simply not work.

Why's that? It's literally how I played Assassin's Creed, except it was uplay rather than GOG Galaxy.
