This is good but can we please get a native Linux client?

Heroic Games Launcher is a pretty smooth experience on Linux for what it’s worth. It works well for GOG, Epic, and Amazon Games.

While Heroic is great and I love it, I would be nice to have official support from GOG.

The developers of Heroic are in regular contact with GOG employees, and they also get a cut from any GOG purchase made through the Heroic client.

That is interesting, may we have a source?

I don't know about regular contact but they get money when you use their link to buy via gog.

Use our link when making purchases on GOG and support the project. Cool right?

Perhaps that is why the client is so good.

That's what I'm currently using. It's great software, I just want official support from GOG.
