GOG has launched the Freedom to Buy initiative, offering delisted or controversial games for free to protest silent censorship and promote access to legal, responsibly made titles.
The great thing about GOG is you don’t need the launcher, you can use a third party launcher like Heroic or just download the installers directly from the GOG website once you log in.
I think it’s de-emphasized because part of the GOG appeal is that you don’t need a launcher and can grab direct DRM free installers. The launcher just exists for convenience.
if I could even download gog galaxy. there’s no download link on their webpage and neither anything on the web. But pretty cool of them

I can’t even log in, because their 2FA system is overwhelmed. I’ve been waiting almost four hours for an email code to hit my inbox.
They no longer require authy for time based codes, so I would update to use an authenticator app when you next get in.
The link is in the webpage, but it might be bugged? It’s not visible in vanilla chrome or firefox for me (or maybe just not visible on linux).

That’s from the page’s source.
It’s not available for linux. That’s the problem.
Heroic Games Launcher ftw!
Yeah but it’s totally optionally, so in that case I don’t care much.
