I use GOG for years. I believe that when they began to implement their own launcher it was a misstep. I know someone else on their forums pointed it out better than I could but had they stayed DRM FREE without launchers they could have avoided a lot of cost with having to 1) Keep up with the launcher battle 2) Deal with DRM creep coming into their releases 3) Have a unique identity in the game digital distribution world.

The amount of research I have to do before I pull the trigger to buy one of their games made me back up my titles and close my account.

My main rig is an Rpi 4 8 gb. Instead of an SD card I have a 250 gb ssd as it's boot and storage. I'm probably never going to build or buy another rig ever again.

I watch this with my kid at their place over the course of this weekend. I enjoyed it. They play LOL heavy and got into the lore and back drop. I'm never gonna play the game but I love the art of the game.

That's my secret cap, I hardly spend any money or "buy" things.

A lot of what they are using is atypical of a common setup for most users but I think the coverage has been excellent.

The apps may not all work but the websites will work when you set the browser to desktop mode. That is how I get my banking done on LineageOS with Firefox.

My family has been blocking ad since with days of Windows 98 SE. Right now we have UBO, Https everywhere, privacy badger on Firefox from our linux desktops/laptops to our smartphones.

None. I hope more of the consumer base goes that route.

This is excellent.

 

AAA gaming for the last 17+ years seems like people pay more to get less functional software. While the patient gamers get it for free or dirt cheap later on when it's in a much better state. While further still pirates get the best copy day one with community made mods.
