Is it a failure?

Does Zig Forums use it, and will the proposed features ever be integrated?

I use it to sort and tag my games between all the launchers, it has been good for that. It's not really good for launching games (even GOG's own) because it's just fucking faster to do it through the .exe or respective launcher.

what do you mean? Every game that can't start without its launcher being booted will, but so would they if you try to start them with a regular .exe

I tried, but it keeps forgetting my login on all the different services

I wanna say that happened to me a while ago and I fixed it but don't remember how. Now only Bethesda.net disconnects but that will happen no matter how I launch it.

I only ever use it for a few games that I want to keep cloud saves. It's kinda pointless otherwise.

I wanted galaxy 2.0, then I got into the beta, and unironically wanted to go back to pre 2.0 because it was a better designed user interface.

You do know that managing other stores' games isn't the only thing it does, right
like, you do know that the GOG galaxy can manage GOG games, that hasn't like escaped your attention right
because in case you haven't noticed Steam also has to launch uPlay or Epic when you buy certain Ubisoft or EA games

What's with gamers and the color purple...
It's like the most overused lighting color

What do YOU mean? The launchers are all booted first in the background if they aren't already in the background. For Steam, EGS, Uplay and Origins games at least, I've tested installing/launching/uninstalling a few games each for those platforms.

I use GOG to avoid launchers so I don't see the point of this. Just give me the exe installer and the goodies in a folder.

>buttons on top
retarded

The sorting is really good (especially the being able to not only re-title but have a seperate sorting title from the shown one.
I never tried that so I don't know what I missed.

>Is it a failure?
Yes

I Use it only because my purchased game library is pretty equally split between GoG and Steam and i often forget which games are on which launcher. I like a minimal desktop clutter, so i dont have many game shortcuts except the 'essentials', ie games i dont uninstall ever. So AoE2, Minecraft, Rocket League, and Jackbox

>Just give me the exe installer and the goodies in a folder.
I think that's kind of the point. to have everything in one place (but also being able find by tag and such)

You don't need a separate launcher for that.

I don't think it was a failure, it just has a pretty specific use. Organization for all your games really.

Can't steam (or just folders) do that too? if the promised features were implemented it would be way less specific, and get rid of most reasons to use any other launcher, though.

it is pointless, just like lutris

>launch launcher that launches launchers for launchers
yo dawg

No I just keep all my running launchers in the quick access tray

does pirated games works aswell ?

It's very useful for checking if you already own a game somewhere when you see it for sale lol

its okay

Yeah you can just link any exe

I can rarely remember on which storefront I bought any specific game I want to play so I find it handy

If you don't have much games, Steam will suffice via manual addition (their tagging system is far better Galaxy's to be desu). The only real advantage of Galaxy is that it's able to automatically populate your game libraries by linking the launchers. I've claimed like 50+ free games just from the 'Rona-days between Steam/EGS/GoG/etc so it was useful for this mess.

I still just use it for GOG games. Multiple launchers honestly never bothered me.

Do you have very few games? if not, how do you keep track?

yeah I've been using it since day 1, it's fine, gog is good if you like buying videogames and supporting drm-free, wallet voting and shit like that. i don't care enough about features to worry about adding .exes to steam or w/e, but there's a lot more features in galaxy than ye olde gog, so progress is happening. thank you for reading my blog.

>Decide to re-download games A and B from GOG
>Downloads only require a couple of KB, which is strange even for decades-old games.
>Both downloads are identical
>They are actually installers for GOG's Launcher, which requires me again for login in order to download and launch everything from it.
Is the option to just download the original software .EXE hidden? Or is it just not there anymore?
Is piracy the only way to get offline installers for old games?

it's not flawless, it can lose connection to steam, valve needs to work with them directly so it can stop happening since steam is the biggest platform, but otherwise I use it all the time, yeah you can't really browse new games on it but to install/launch games I have I much prefer it, the UI is better than most other launchers and it gets nice art for each thing, I only need to launch steam if I am doing workshop stuff.

the launcher will let you download the offline exes and you can run them without it, they are just trying to shill the launcher, I believe there is way to download them from the site.

Based.
Post taskbars

From the website? Right under the "Download and install now" there's a section labelled "Download offline backup game installers"

>buy DRM-free game from GoG
>use Galaxy to install it because fuck remembering to delete the installer
>game will not start without booting GoG Galaxy first
I hate this software.

Windows 10´s start menu is actually one thing I use and don't hate about it.
