With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose the GOG version because I don’t have to deal with pre-shader work being downloaded every so often. I can just into my games. Yet, Steam achievements and seeing the game’s metadata is always life: seeing the game info, store page, community stuff about the game, and more all there. So what do you chose? GOG game or the Steam game.

    Yeah, I said it and then got to thinking about it and I’m not sure it’d be that difficult. For PC games anyway, consoles (especially Nintendo) would probably require self reporting.

    But Discord seems to be aware of what I’m playing (steam integration?) so theoretically a “game scrobbler” could work through that too? I think if such a service was created, it could also be neat to add community-driven achievements and stats tracking.

    Ah, maybe a fun side project to dig into sometime…
