I have flip-flopped between GOG and Steam for many years. This has correlated with my use of Linux and Linux's support for gaming.

When I first learned of GOG and I was still primarily gaming on Windows I tended to choose GOG over Steam since I prefer their DRM-free games. However since it became much easier to game on Linux (thanks to Proton and the work of Valve), I tended to start buying more on Steam since it was so much easier to get games working through their platform. Since Heroic launcher came out I have now switched back to primarily buying from GOG again.

Yep, since Heroic started supporting savegame sync and achievments, GoG became a really good option for Linux gamers (and Steam Deck) again.

Wow! I need to look into it again on my SD. Tried it at release 2 years ago and the experience wasn't the most streamlined.

I did eventually get Control working, but that's about it.
