Hello GoG developers. I came to your platform because I don't like the steam community and the launcher design.

Your launcher is already so many years old, and during this time you have not set achievements in most games, and also, the loading speed of the gog launcher is extremely slow. Why is that? You are sorely lacking people for. The launcher appeared in 2014, and these problems are still present. Please, can you at least answer why you treat your customers so badly? Are there precincts?

It's up to each game developer to do that, if they want. Most don't bother, due to GOG's small market share, and the fact that many GOG users don't care about achievements. I try to politely point out it's possible to import achievements from Steam (some further tweaking and testing likely required) but usually I don't get a response.

I have no such issue. May be due to using a HDD instead of an SSD, or perhaps security software slowing down the log in process.

Staff don't comment on most issues, whether GOG Galaxy or site-related.
For future reference, note there's a dedicated GOG Galaxy forum.

GOG could easily fix that problem by refusing to allow devs to treat GOG customers like second-class citizens in that way.

GOG could, for example, demand that all GOG games have 100% feature parity with their Steam and/or EGS versions, unless there is a good technical reason for why they cannot, which there never would be one for devs unethically leaving out Achievements just because they are immoral and lazy.

So it's a GOG problem too, not only a lazy/unethical dev problem.
Surely the games are more important than a launcher (that isn't even needed to run games owned) or superficial achievements that are also not really needed to enjoy owned games the way they were initially designed to be played... *scratches head*. Yes!, the one on my shoulders...

You shouldn't presume to decide how someone should enjoy a game they purchased.
Achievements do add another level of fun.
It is a valid point that if a game has achievements on Steam, they should also exist on GoG.

I never presumed anything, I was asking a question, which you will see if you read what I wrote again...

omg....I switched to gog because you can run the game without a launcher (as it is in steam. I DO NOT WANT the game to launch the steam launcher. ).

Well, why can't you just fine-tune the launcher? Is it so difficult? He would have been perfect then.

Also these sanctions on Russia. Can't buy the game at all.

You just understand... As a child, we all gathered around the computer, and watched how one person played. Or they just played when they came to visit.

Now times are different. I don't want to visit someone. And I want to share my achievements with others. Discuss with others something related to these achievements.

I understand that, and can see the reasons some would enjoy doing such a thing. But would you flatly refuse to purchase a game if it did not come with achievements (because it wasn't designed with them in mind) or because achievements were only available on certain platforms or stores. Baring in mind, said game/s would be extremely enjoyable, exciting, fun etc etc in their own right, without said achievements. Would that still deter you from purchasing them ?. In other words, no achievement, no purchase ?, and miss out and never play said games, even if they were great games ?.

Of course I would buy a great game without achievements.
But I'm a perfectionist. When you have completed the game and see all your achievements, a feeling of satisfaction comes into your soul.

+ to everything, do not forget about one more problem that I described.

Oh yeah, now I can't buy games here at all ;)
I hope that at least the opportunity to transfer the preservation of my beloved will be. I started to hate Steam. You can't run the game in it WITHOUT LAUNCHING THE STUPID LAUNCHER

But there are many here that are not so forgiving, and have said they will never purchase a game without achievements, and even hate on games that have achievement on other platforms/stores that are not available here. <-- this is the mentality I will never understand, especially if the games is a very good game in its own right. But they choose to miss out on the entire game because one tiny element (whether justified or not) is missing, but doesn't* ruin the game as it was meant to be played...

Hopefully (and I'm sure) it will only be temporary.

Edit: *added "n't", because I stupidly didn't proofread my post properly before posting it. Duh!

You think someone who was discriminated against because of their ethnic nationality should just get over it and continue to financially support GoG when GoG finally decides they are worthy to buy more games? I think not.
The average Russian is not responsible for the war.
Companies that closed brick and mortar stores or ceased providing financial services in Russia do impact the Russian government. Selling virtual video games to Russian citizens does not aid the Russian government at all.
