GOG GALAXY SLOW DOWNLOAD MANUAL

The pros of entirely manual local installations are, as you say, the control and relative simplicity of not needing a separate application to launch your games, and the lack of automation from such an application meaning nothing happens unless you want it to. There's also an argument to be made for the convenience of launcher-based installations rather than manual ones.

Of course, the launcher offers quite a few benefits that 'just an installer' play lacks (and can't have due to it necessitating a background application): online save sync and backups, automatic game updates, friend lists, a browsable game library of both installed and noninstalled games, etc. Are they taking away the option to play without a launcher? Not at all. Why? The majority of gamers are already perfectly fine using launchers, so they are trying to get a better foothold in that market.

That was the second time that om a company that sold itself on being completely unlike everyone else, and needing nothing but the game.I don't see how that's the case. I had ane employee helping me with a game problem who suggested I use Galaxy, then there would be no problem.

They haven’t required it yet, but the number of ways they push Galaxy is getting close to breaking that idea. RtwjunkieWell because GOG not only sold itself to people originally as DRM-free, but as not needing any requirement to play their games.a simpler way.

They just don't have the budget in there to maintain a Steam-equivalent, and let's face it, its also much healthier to get the existing third parties in the industry get their 15 minutes of fame. This also fits right in with the low distribution % Epic wants. Deliver your shit and get out of the way. This is what a distributor should do and be. Play, have fun, you bought something, Kthxbai - that seems to be what Epic is looking for. They want to distribute the damn game and be done with it. I also think Epic is definitely not wanting to go fat and bloated with their Store app too much.

They've got too much on their hands clearly, if you look at how the store features expand as well. Galaxy is in a MUCH better place and time to market is key for Epic. I mean its honestly still not a very great place to browse on, with the 15-30 FPS you get on that thing and the totally clunky UI. They will offer a single portal, its probably win win because GOG gets extra exposure and Sweeney won't have to make his store actually run proper too much. For a chance to be part of this test, join GOG GALAXY today at .Įpic going the GOG way? Hmmm not seeing that happen anytime soon. As the internal beta test continues, we will be inviting more gamers, expanding the store's catalog and introducing new features. There is still plenty of work ahead of us. Most importantly, all purchases are covered by our 30-days refund policy as well as 24/7 human support. With the internal beta launching today, invited users will have the option to buy games from a selection of hand-picked Epic Games Store exclusive titles, alongside all GOG.COM games. In the new store, we will be welcoming games from both GOG.COM and beyond - including titles previously exclusive only to other gaming platforms. Today, we're happy to invite the first group of gamers to test the brand new store we're working on, and share their feedback with us. Since its launch, the most requested new feature has been the option to buy games not only from GOG.COM, but from other platforms as well, straight from the GOG GALAXY app. We created GOG GALAXY 2.0 to give gamers a better way of organizing all their games across multiple gaming platforms into one library.
