Please give us Galaxy on Linux, GOG, so I can shop with you over Steam.

As long as GOG doesn't invest in Wine/Proton, Valve has still the upper hand in Linux support and therefore deserve my money more.

They don't even need to invest in its development. They just need to integrate it as a launch option.

That would be nice, sure. I am just saying, it still wouldn't give them a significantly better standing over Valve, in my eyes. Valve is currently kinda the Linux Gaming Savior. Hard to beat that unless they also start actively (!) doing something.

GOG is tiny compared to Valve. They simply don't have the resources to invest in Linux R&D. Expecting them to do so is futile.

What does that change about what I said? I don't expect them to. I simply stated why I prefer Steam over GOG.
