The launcher that they have is pretty rough. I downloaded it for Mac OS and it just wouldn’t run right. Kept closing down. If I could just download right from the website they’d have some money.

If they draw is drm free games why only allow purchase through a custom launcher like everything else?

You can.

They do not make that obvious. I downloaded the launcher and when it didn’t work I bailed. I’ll check closer

I don't use their launcher at all.

It's kind of a convoluted process but you can definitely download every game you own through gog without it.

Yeah galaxy is sadly a bit of a mess. Back when i was still running windows it broke its own update capabilities once or twice.

Can you not download from the site on mac?

I’ll have to check. It seemed like downloads had to happen from the app.
