So I can keep my library of games I own in one place, install it on my OS and (ideally) maintain them (patches, mods, scripts etc).

If they really wanted to be a source of competition maybe even something like the community hub of sorts where you could download the aforementioned patches or fixes for your games but primarily for centralisation of my library in app form.

Yeah, patches and updates is probably a good use case. GOG should probably just make a command line tool for Linux modeled after something like apt, with the difference that you need to log in to access your purchases. I think many users would also appreciate a curated directory of mods.

That's an excellent idea!

Use heroic? It allows GOG login (amongst others), and does all that.
