But are they on Mastodon? This is a very important factor for my purchasing decision.

There are tons of people who have still never heard of GOG. This really is a necessary advertisement campaign.

How do you follow someone you discovered while browsing a foreign instance?

The end result is still part of GOG's revenue going toward the development of Heroic.

It doesn't meet your high standard and that's okay. I prefer to count my blessings in this regard.

You legally didn't "own" your physical games either if you haven't noticed.

It's not legally binding, since it isn't part of the user agreement you review when buying games on Steam.

There really is no difference. For almost all intents and purposes, GOG's offline installers can be treated the same way as physical CDs of way back then, with one of the only exceptions being that you cannot resell them.

Nowadays the Heroic Games Launcher is the preferred solution for downloading and running GOG games. It's a community-run project, but officially affiliated with GOG.

The end goal of this proposal is to build interoperability features into GitLab so that it’s possible on one instance of GitLab to open a merge request to a project hosted on an other instance, merging all willing instances in a global network.

To achieve that, we propose to use ActivityPub, the w3c standard used by the Fediverse. This will allow us to build upon a robust and battle-tested protocol, and it will open GitLab to a wider community.
