Well-deserved shout-out for GOG. Its standalone installers make actually owning your games much more convenient than it would be on Steam.

I know about heroic but gog does not care about anything other than windows. Linux support for gog galaxy has been the most requested feature for years and nothing is happening. Instead the work falls back to the community
