GOG Galaxy is like Steam but for GOG games, in case anyone else was wondering.

I think it also has integrations for some other things too, so you can use it to launch all your games from various launchers instead of remembering which games are on which launchers and opening each one to search for the game you want to play. It centralized your games into one spot which can be nice.

Its a bit better than that, its a bit closer to an all in one launcher ~~/downloader~~ client for all your games from (steam)/gog/epic/etc

I think Heroic basically already does that though

It does. More options aren't bad.

It's a launcher for other game launchers, but it doesn't provide downloads for other launchers.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 3 days ago

Oh it doesn't? Been a long time since I used galaxy/windows, so that's my bad

Like the other comment says, it's closer to Heroic Launcher. It is owned by GoG, but it also interfaces with other stores. Valve will/would never do this.
