This is a very eye-opening look at what an experienced and not greedy game company can do with a launcher and this just puts Epic to shame when you compare the level of development and depth of wallets. You can choose to have any one of or a number of your launchers open with GOG Galaxy so that anything you may want is ready to launch right from GOG Galaxy.Ī few more nice features found in the Settings are Auto-update’s for games, Cloud Saves and Overlay.

GOG GALAXY 2.0 enables you to list view your games, and much more, you can sort by Title, % Completed, Time Played, Your Star Rating, Personal Tags and even Platform! Point is DRM free, leaving your system free to process and render your game to its max capabilities unhindered by a list of checks. Many games of the past have had some really creative ways of dealing with piracy which we are not diving into here that’s a whole new subject article in itself. Its software and if someone wants to write code to get around stuff they will find a way, lol where there is a will there IS ALWAYS A WAY. We all are also very aware of just how ineffective DRM really is. Well, known DRM software like Denuvo destroys performance on a major level and it is really nice having a game that is not being slowed down like trying to swim in a pool of molasses. GOG is very well known for DRM free games, you buy them you own them plain and simple, and as an old school PC gamer myself this is just Creme De La Creme of gaming right here. GOG’s store can still be found down at the bottom of the list here on the left of the program. Here are fingers crossed for Rock Star launcher and others making it onto the GALAXY 2.0 platform.

Now I want GOG GALAXY 2.0 just to see what is changing and to use, support and report bugs on a launcher I am truly excited to see reach development goals. I used to just put my “The Witcher III Wild Hunt” game folder where ever I wanted and just launched the game with a shortcut from the executable. I have spent a few weeks getting to know the new GOG GALAXY 2.0 launcher and it has honestly been fun to explore and play around with just the launcher. Considering the number of launchers being put out there with their “live service” games attached it is getting rather annoying keeping track of and installing everything you might need. No more needing to open more than GOG once your games are installed and set up. Now I know GOG isn’t there as of yet but by what I understand they are working on setting up GOG GALAXY 2.0 as a single launcher for all of your connected accounts and their launchers as a long term goal. You did not need more than that, now I need Steam and uPlay to play Far Cry, Assassins Creed and even the Tom Clancy series just to name a few. Being an old school gamer I like my DRM free games and remember a time when you didn’t need more than a legal copy of a game and maybe a server browser to maximize the available servers you could play a game on, (yes there are way more servers than games like the Battlefield series advertise in their server searches □ ). So when I heard about GOG GALAXY 2.0 the new project of CD Projekt the creators of a very well known game called The Witcher III Wild Hunt I got rather excited. As a PC gamer, I have known about GOG for quite some time.
