Please give us Galaxy on Linux, GOG, so I can shop with you over Steam.
Surprised we haven’t seen launchers adding native support for Linux. You’d think they would want to take advantage of the millions of steam decks on the market.
Perhaps they are busy contemplating their own hardware investments, which will surely flood the market with cheap and poorly constructed knockoffs.
There's little to no business incentive for other launchers to add support for an OS used only by approx. 1.7% of PC gamers.
Less incentive, but 1.7% of a huge number of customers may still be profitable.
