      So does Galaxy?

      Let’s say I have not yet had to do a full reinstall of Heroic and multiple associated games because something got unfixably (for my level of understanding) borked during an update.

        Heroic is a community “we hope it’s useful but don’t complain when it doesn’t” product.

        With Galaxy you are a paying customer who has rights.

          Galaxy is free and not required. If it doesn’t work you can download games from the website (which I consider an important feature). I’m pretty sure you don’t have any rights whatsoever.

          Buuut it also reinforces my point. The free open source solution works better than their in-house one.

            Galaxy is free and not required.

            It’s a product for paying customers of GOG games. You have rights you don’t have with some open source hobby project.

              I have lots of free games from GOG. You don’t have to be a paying customer to use Galaxy.

              Which rights do you have?

                  Ok, but which? Can you sue them if Galaxy, a free tool that they provide for convenience and that isn’t required for the actual service, doesn’t work, or if it breaks a game? Name one thing.
