I would buy from GOG too, if they provided Linux support in form of an official launcher. And if available also official Linux builds. Back in the days GOG did that, but they stopped doing it. And before someone comes after me, I know there are alternative launchers on Linux. But I don't want to give GOG money for work others doing it for free. I don't want support a company who only cares about Windows.

In the past, before Proton, if a game was available at comparable prices on GOG and on Steam, I'd buy it on GOG, also because no DRM meant better compatibility. After Proton, my purchases from GOG went way down.

I bought Resident Evil 0 on GOG yesterday but Heroic wouldn't download the game for some reason (stuck at 0%). Refunded, got it on Steam for cheaper and it launched right away.

Sometimes I purchase on GOG out of principle and for some reason they always punish me for it.
