But why do you need a launcher though? Is it to play games socially or something?

I just launch from the start menu. My issue is that there aren't enough Linux titles, but at least GOG is very good about marking Linux titles and making them searchable.

    Yeah, patches and updates is probably a good use case. GOG should probably just make a command line tool for Linux modeled after something like apt, with the difference that you need to log in to access your purchases. I think many users would also appreciate a curated directory of mods.

    There's this revolutionary new technology I guess the start menu gamers haven't caught onto yet known as "cloud saves" which make it a lot easier to continue playing games on different devices and through uninstalls.

    I bring my home directory with me across installs, but I never felt the need to continue on a year-old save. Across devices I can maybe see, if you have both a gaming PC and a Steam Deck, but I think that's a fraction of players and I don't think I'll join that group any time soon.
