A native Linux client for GOG's platform is a bare minimum one should except.

I want to track time played with GOG.
I want to track achievements with GOG.
I want to chat with my friends via the overlay.
I want cloud sync for my Linux games (only available for game installed as Windows application, means buying a Linux native game pointless).
Because I like GOG's client.
Because I want to use GOG's client.
Because I am human and my resons are not solely on logic but emotions as well.

Heroic is a great client but I want to use GOG's client. That should be reason enough.

It's a digital distribution and shop site...

Those wishes are akin to demanding libre office calc to be a database.

What are you talking about? GOG Galaxy 2.0 already has all of that.

I want on Linux what is already implemented on Windows. It is not like they have to come up with how to do everything from scratch. All the business logic of their application is already there.
