!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

What do you mean needing an app to get to another app?

Heroic literally just downloads the game installer and installs the game. Heroic is the single app.

So what you're saying is I don't need Heroic to get to GoG?

You use heroic to login to your gog account directly. It manages your library from the launcher.

It is a single application. I don’t understand why you think you need two applications to install and launch gog games.

Do you need Steam to get to Steam?
