GOG One-Click Mods | GOG Classics Vault

We need a Linux GOG Galaxy, not another mod marketplace. This seems like it's in preparation for Skyblivion.
- Heroic works better than Galaxy does in Windows. They should just pay the Heroic devs for their work and make that their official launcher.
  
  they already do! (sorta)
  if you buy games through heroic, the heroic devs get a percentage of the sale
  
  Heroic works until it doesn't.

When did "modding a game" shift from "creating new mods" to "applying mods"?
- I'm pretty sure it's always been both. They're both modifying the game.
- Idk but it makes it hard to find modding (creating mods) ressources online
So like the steam workshop? Cool.
- Yes, but most of those games don't have steam workshop.
I know for a fact whoever developed the GoG launcher isn't capable of adding this in.
Source: half of the connectors to other game services don't work, and they haven't bothered to make their Mac app function in literally years (and if asked about this they tell you to "use the website").
- Even fewer people game on Mac than on Linux (judging by the Steam survey). I bet it's not that they can't they just don't care.
Nice to see some competition in this space. Steam dropped the ball by not getting fallout London.
- Steam dropped the ball by not getting fallout London.
  How is that Steam's fault?
I'm definitively gonna keep a look on that. Hope it will work with Heroic and the Steam Deck.
I guess good thing, but what about improving GOG initially? There are many things to add and improve
- So they added one thing, but you're complaining they haven't added literally every other improvement you can imagine?
  
  It's not every other improvements, it's basic features requested for years.
  Dumb things like being able to edit your reviews or delete them without mailing the support. Having the ability to download old versions of offline installers instead of being forced to use their app...
  It's pretty obvious that I meant that this addition is welcome, but I critize their priorities.
  Even GOG Galaxy for Linux. Forgot this still wasn't added.
Why not just cooperate with nexus mods? Their new app (yes, still a deep beta) works quite well
- Because nexus mods is woeful, and their gradual enshittification isn't a good sign
  
  What examples can you give of their enshittification?
  
  I didn't notice it going bad. What's going on?
- Still using NMM. I will never switch to Vortex (mostly because my list of mods is insane)
  
  I mean the new one, not Vortex
While I appreciate increased visibility for such (often awesome) mods, I kind of doubt good guys at gog can manage to ship actual versions of them.
Meh. Forces you to have the game on GOG. It's blocking mods behind a platform and account paywall, just like Steam Workshop
No. Just, please. No. Go back to just being the only place to pick up tested versions of abandonware titles. Not this pseudo-Steam crap.
- Because only steam can have mods? Do you listen to yourself lmao "no please keep it a monopoly, valve are good guys, stay in your lane"
  
  Oh hell no. Valve are evil, like any other corporate monstrosity. It's not that I want GOG to "stay in their lane" as a bad thing. I want them to stay away from the morasse of crap that other sites like them have become. There are game modding communities all over the Internet, we don't need an abandonware site that put on airs to become part of the "modern marketplace".
  I want GOG to getback to what it was before CDPR.
