If you want something a bit more user friendly than the Python command-line, then you could try my GUI for gogrepo.py.

GOGRepo GUI

You can get the older version via a link at that post.

Be aware though, that I am in the final stages of testing the next better version, which also supports the forked version of gogrepo.py.

Aside from gogrepo.py, you don't have any other real alternatives, if you care about download integrity.

I have also developed a Simple GUI alternative for it, that allows you to use your browser as the downloader or some third party program like Free Download Manager 5, and then use it to check the downloaded file(s) integrity.

GOGRepo Simple GUI

Both of my GUIs share the same discussion thread.

In my experiences gamers (in console and PC) are not the wisest of consumers. If they were EA Games, Microtransactions, DRM and day one DLC wouldn't be a thing. I too have ran into people conflating downloading exe with the same thing as installing from a client. Which simply means they don't know how computers work.

I would say at best gamers are indifferent and at worst ignorant to the dangers of cloud controlled content.

That sounds very different from the average... anyone.

Not so long ago there was a situation where Apple was suing independent repare shops for fixing iPhones. These big tech companies want to keep there consumers on a tight leash.

Here is a video about it:

It's all part of the modern trend, where most consumers just want to consume and not worry about anything else.

They live for the here and now and don't think too far ahead.

Life's just a game to many of them.

The evidence is everywhere.
