We need a Linux GOG Galaxy, not another mod marketplace. This seems like it's in preparation for Skyblivion.

I'm definitively gonna keep a look on that. Hope it will work with Heroic and the Steam Deck.
So like the steam workshop? Cool.
I know for a fact whoever developed the GoG launcher isn't capable of adding this in.
Source: half of the connectors to other game services don't work, and they haven't bothered to make their Mac app function in literally years (and if asked about this they tell you to "use the website").
Why not just cooperate with nexus mods? Their new app (yes, still a deep beta) works quite well
Because nexus mods is woeful, and their gradual enshittification isn't a good sign
What examples can you give of their enshittification?
Can’t download mods without logging in anymore
Isn't this exactly like GOG Mods?
-
Nexus is only about mods, it’s not a bonus feature
-
Nexus mods used to be available without logging in
And registration hasn't worked for years. Pointing this out in this community will earn you downvotes. Nexus Mods is completely unusable trash.
I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds
I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It's an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution
Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don't make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there's a money sink somewhere
Still using NMM. I will never switch to Vortex (mostly because my list of mods is insane)
I mean the new one, not Vortex
Nice to see some competition in this space. Steam dropped the ball by not getting fallout London.
When did "modding a game" shift from "creating new mods" to "applying mods"?
I guess good thing, but what about improving GOG initially? There are many things to add and improve
So they added one thing, but you're complaining they haven't added literally every other improvement you can imagine?
It's not every other improvements, it's basic features requested for years.
Dumb things like being able to edit your reviews or delete them without mailing the support. Having the ability to download old versions of offline installers instead of being forced to use their app...
It's pretty obvious that I meant that this addition is welcome, but I critize their priorities.
Even GOG Galaxy for Linux. Forgot this still wasn't added.
While I appreciate increased visibility for such (often awesome) mods, I kind of doubt good guys at gog can manage to ship actual versions of them.
Meh. Forces you to have the game on GOG. It's blocking mods behind a platform and account paywall, just like Steam Workshop
No. Just, please. No. Go back to just being the only place to pick up tested versions of abandonware titles. Not this pseudo-Steam crap.
Because only steam can have mods? Do you listen to yourself lmao "no please keep it a monopoly, valve are good guys, stay in your lane"
Oh hell no. Valve are evil, like any other corporate monstrosity. It's not that I want GOG to "stay in their lane" as a bad thing. I want them to stay away from the morasse of crap that other sites like them have become. There are game modding communities all over the Internet, we don't need an abandonware site that put on airs to become part of the "modern marketplace".
I want GOG to getback to what it was before CDPR.
We very much do need GOG to be competitive with the market leader but with the primary selling point of DRM-free, yes. And is it a coincidence that the beginning of your username is the same as that awful YouTuber?
I want GOG to getback to what it was before CDPR.
CD Projekt saw potential to look back at their distribution days to offer DRM-free versions of classic games through digital distribution, ... They founded a new subsidiary, Good Old Games, to serve this purpose in early 2008.
It already is a modern marketplace and many modern games release on it. Just because you only use it for old games doesn't mean it's all it's ever allowed to be. They've been expanding their gog program more broadly to cover more of their audience, and a mod support like this makes it very easy for players of old games to release modified versions of those games, instead of needing to look for moddb or nexusmods.
How many people play DOS2 with EE? How many people play civ5 with the 5.5 mod? It's just common sense to me that they'd set up something for people to keep old games fresh via modding, and it's not even a steam workshop like system so I'm not sure what steam has to do with anything. The mods they've showcased are full overhauls.
