The questions are so weird... And they repeat themselves.
"I feel I have a close relationship with GOG." followed by "I feel that I am personally connected to GOG. "

"GOG changes how it treats me" ... ??

Are they really asking for 25mn of my time for a survey badly made with AI?

Hi everyone!

I have a few questions related to GOG.

Achievements:

Apparently they should work with Heroic through Comet. If I launch a GOG game in gaming mode as a non-steam game would it work as long as the checkbox about comet in Heroic is activated? Or do I have anything to do such as what’s decribed here https://github.com/imLinguin/comet/wiki/Usage or there https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1bursla/gog_achievements_with_comet_now_easier_usable/ ? The explanations are a bit complex for me and contradictory.

Downloads:

Is there a way to download a GOG game in the background while playing a Steam game in gaming mode?

I really want to support GOG and these features are important. Of course I know that the Steam Deck is subsidized by Valve and that we can’t have everything, but I hope GOG will be more Linux friendly in the future.

Thanks a lot.

Terraria is on sale and i thought i'd buy a copy for my kid brother. But then i thought i should actually read the user agreement and privacy policy before i tell him to make an account. Turns out people younger than 16 can't own accounts, and i can't just buy a copy for him on my account because i'm already going to buy a copy for my account (i currently have the Steam version but want the game sans DRM).

So if i want to get him this game, should i make an account in his name but keep control of it until he's older? Is there some better legal option here?

I'd like to play Oneshot but it's not on GOG. I went looking to see if anyone had said why not and I found a post from the Oneshot dev GIR saying he submitted the game to GOG.

I'm curious about what happened. I'd love to see Oneshot come to GOG.

Hi everyone!

I've been a Playstation gamer and a Linux user for years. I now have a Steam Deck to slowly move my gaming to the Linux side too.

For myself, it's pretty easy, but it's more complicated with my son.

He's 8 and I would want him to be able to just take the Deck, use his profile and play with it, wether as a handheld, hooked to the TV with a my Baseus Dock or hooked to the computer screen through USB-C.

So here are my questions:

-Sharing the Steam Library through the Steam Family is easy, but how do you manage this for the settings of the Deck on his profile? Basically, I'd want him to have the same settings as me so that I don't have to configure anything for him when he wants to play while I'm cooking or busy (controllers through bluetooth, UI scaling, game profiles, etc..). Ideally I would prefer not to have to do everything once again and just have synchonized profiles. Especially because I also have a 12 year daughter who might want to play too and all these things are time consuming. -How do you share your GOG library? Ideally without having to set up Heroic 3 times as we would be 3 users..I'm trying to buy 50% of my games on GOG, but I might just stick to Steam if the sharing part is complicated. Which would be a shame..

The thing is that every difficulty the kids face are just gonna make them want to just keep playing on the Playstation 5 and say "Dad leave us alone with your Linux devices", so I'd really want the experience to be as seamless as possible.

We used to have a Switch and I'm kind of trying to give them the same ease of use even if I know that it's clearly not the same device.

I know, I'm doing this again but it's just hilarious at this point.

Assuming I don't miss a single month for subscribing to someone one #Twitch using my "Prime Sub" paying for Amazon Prime compared to paying for just that sub directly only costs "1.49" per 6 months or in other words it only costs 2.98 Euro/year or 0.248333 Euro/month

And considering I also regularly use the included @gog game vouchers from https://gaming.amazon.com/ it still is a reasonable deal.

Even though I don't ant to support Amazon, right?

a note: for burning BDXL discs on Linux, i've seen conflicting reports about K3b, some say it works, others say it doesn't... if someone has had any luck burning BDXL discs on Linux, i'd love to know what setup you used!

@gog will you explain yourself one day?

@gog and others with GOG and VR experience,

is there any guide on how to run VR games purchased on GOG under Linux?

I'm surprised I haven't found any useful guides to this question through search engines. My best guess is to add the games to Steam as external apps, and try my luck through Steam VR.

Now that I've got my VR setup up and running, I plan to get new titles. I'd much rather pay to a Polish company than send my hard-earned money to Trumpistan.

Oh, @gog uses Meta marketing tools to bombard me with mails for shovelware? When did I miss that setting? *Unsubsound*

After grabbing #Myst lately as a good @gog deal I added it to my @lutris library and wanted to play it. I played it last time in 1994 and had good memories. Of course it installed @scummvm and then I wanted to start it. But nothing happened. It didn't start.

Then I installed scummvm via flatpack and there it runs without a problem. I think something's missing in the Lutris starter. Searched a bit and it seems some libraries are missing.

As you can see in the screenshot, all it says after pressing the post button is "Please wait. Processing...". It never ever proceeds past this point, no matter what web browser I use. I've tried all the browsers I use: LibreWolf, Mullvad, Floorp, Firefox and Brave. None of them let me post on the community forums. I tried this 2 or 3 days ago too; same problem. Has anyone else run into this issue?

April 27th 2000, Breath of Fire IV first captured hearts as one of Capcom’s most beloved RPGs. 25 years later, it returns – revived by popular demand and fully updated for modern PCs, this iconic classic is now available DRM-free on GOG!

The game joins the GOG Preservation Program with essential upgrades: our enhanced version is fully optimized for modern systems, with Windows 10 and 11 compatibility. Players can enjoy both English and Japanese localizations, along with improved graphics powered by an upgraded DirectX renderer, new display options like Windowed Mode, V-Sync, Anti-Aliasing and refined gamma correction for better visuals. The audio engine has also been upgraded, restoring missing environmental sounds and adding new configuration options.

This is the ultimate way to experience Breath of Fire IV like never before – now, to celebrate on its silver anniversary, and for years to come!

Here's a discount code for a Settlers bundle. Comment once it's claimed so others know it's gone. SPF89YN47HJL39XEKP

In Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy (1999), you are a journalist summoned by an aged explorer who has been "branded" with questionable credibility for over 50 years. The old explorer's tale tells of traveling to the mysterious Central American country, called Amerzone. His story claims that the large egg that he brought back was associated with native Indian tribal beliefs and rituals involving the proliferation of great white birds that fly continuously from the time that they are born and never land seems incredible. But curiosity and the opportunity for a good story will probably get the best of you...

I received this Prince of Persia discount code that I don't intend to use. Comment when it is used so others know it's gone.
