Thanks. I didn't realize that was the case, I installed the plugin at some point but eventually uninstalled it, because I always fell back to Heroic Games Launcher, because GOG has my third largest library of games (after steam and the free epic giveaways).

Having to join their patreon to get early access to a beta plugin (essentially paying money to become a tester) does sound like embracing the current state of game development and not something I am willing to encourage/participate in.

I'll stick with HGL for the time being, I can just add that to steams gamescope.

They have a 1 time $6 payment for GoG access, which isn't too bad. I'm loathe to agree to a subscription payment for anything else these days, but a one-off payment isn't too bad if it's something I'll use.

Fair enough. I haven't paid either but I don't have a huge GOG library. For epic games I consider it better than HGL. Less logout issues like I have with HGL, and it's easier to navigate to.
