I would imagine that they'll somehow merge the friends lists and chat as well, and hopefully the game statistics and achievements will be there too. Might take a few extra seconds, but if I get to organise and view my whole game collection in one place, that's a small price to pay. Yeah, it sucks when you've bought some Ubisoft game on Steam for example you try launching it on GOG Galaxy 2.0, it actually launches Steam that in turn launches Uplay, and only then you'll actually get to play the game.

Of course you'll still need to have your Steams and Origins and Epics and Uplays (etc etc) installed, and some might say that that makes GOG Galaxy 2.0 totally pointless, but I think this is as good as it'll ever be. I know, shame on me.īut now things might finally change! GOG Galaxy 2.0 promises to merge the most popular launchers, so that you can arrange your whole game collection and launch whatever game you want to play from one place. Steam might not even be the best launcher - I mean I really like GOG Galaxy nowadays, but most of my games collection is already on Steam, that's where my achievements and all the statistics are, so if Steam and GOG are selling the same game for the same price, I must admit that I'd still probably choose Steam. What's wrong with me?įor way too many years Steam has been the most convenient way to launch and play games, and even though I think that their service has become really good, somewhere deep inside I feel a bit guilty about feeding their almost monopoly status. Some of you might have even tried it already! The closed beta started a week or two ago, my name's on the waiting list for the invitations, and for some strange reason I'm quite excited about it.

Most of you have probably at least heard of GOG's upcoming launcher, GOG Galaxy 2.0.

Should I post this in the existing gog.com thread.
