@JulesTheModest Er…How do you mean? The Galaxy app has its issues, but I’ve not run into this one.
Biggest issue I ran into was years back trying to point it to my existing directory of GOG games from before Galaxy to get it to recognize them without reinstalling them, but eventually I just decided to reinstall whenever I felt like playing them again (and uninstall from old location).
It’s decent enough to consider it, I’ll give you that.
Something worth adding, I think:
I mainly play smaller games (like ≤ 10 GB, often below 5 GB at that), with few bigger ones in the mix, which is why I even considered this method.
Also back when GOG Galaxy was being introduced, GOG had fewer big games, I think. If not then it’s that I lean towards smaller and older games in general.
I wish more games were small. Talos Principle 2 is 70 gigabytes, first one was more like 10. Bigger games is a problem for people in poorer areas.
