How long has it been? Like a decade? That's when I bought my last GOG game and decided to wait for a proper Linux client.
Having a nice way to view and manage a game library is essential at this point. I don't want to do it manually.

- BaardFigur 1y agoI believe the problem is that most of the games they host are Windows games, so in that regard, Linux doesn't make sense. And maintaining something like Proton is pretty complex, there's so many different distros. Actually ensuring the game works probably was too big of a task for them. You can always add your gog games to Lutris though.

The vast majority of games on Steam are Windows games, yet the Linux Steam client runs them fine via Proton. I don't think people are asking for GOG to make Linux-native games. People are asking for an official GOG client that can handle installing games via Proton/Wine, handles cloud saves, account management, etc. If a bunch of open source hobbyists can create a viable multi-platform client (see Heroic Games Launcher), then so can GOG.
