I'd just like to point out that Galaxy 2.0 is out of early access and this issue still persists, more so the launcher seems to prioritize the Steam versions of games over the GOG ones now which completely boggles my mind. On top of that, I've only yesterday been informed by GOG that I have to manually reinstall the launcher because they were too busy pandering to console players to make sure the f***ing updater worked properly.
The main reason why I've always preferred GOG over other platforms is because it didn't get on my nerves, I could just download an installer, install the game and play it. Even after they replaced the installers with Galaxy it was still fairly headache free so I didn't mind, but since the Galaxy 2.0 beta started it's been trying it's hardest to piss me off. Not just functionality-wise, but the whole principle of it.They've created a launcher that helps people with zero interest in DRM-free gaming be more lazy, meanwhile people like me who actually buy their games primarily from GOG are left to deal with this bulls**t. What is it with game companies nowadays? They love pandering to everyone except their actual audience. I've seen it from other companies too, including GOG's sister company CDP in their marketing for Cyberpunk 2077. Are they seriously this oblivious as to who is keeping their lights on? At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if GOG started selling DRM games soon.
