DRM free store GOG has just released their new profile system and it's surprisingly slick to look at.
So you now get a customizable profile, an activity feed to see what friends are up to and what they've been playing*, share random messages to show up in your friends feeds like Twitter. Just remember to check out those new privacy settings, so you can be sure you know what they're showing to the world.
Just look at how fancy I made myself look:
It might be old news to some, but I didn't even realise GOG actually had a built-in webchat system to talk to friends. This new profile system certainly makes it more apparent that's for sure, as you hover over a friends name and get greeted with the message option. It works quite well too! You can find their announcement on it all here.

QuoteNow then GOG—how about Galaxy on Linux next yes? We've been pretty patient on that I think…This is patently true. It is high time that we see Galaxy on Linux.
Quoting: x_wingThe low to nil involvement of GoG with Linux users
Not sure what you are talking about. GOG developers are quite actively helping Linux users, even with issues like this.
Galaxy is something Steam users probably expect, but that's not what most GOG users care about. Personally, I'm not going to use their client even if they provide it, unless it will be open source or community will make an open source alternative.

On the other hand, I -could- appreciate Galaxy on Linux. While I agree with others that it's not strictly needed, I can at least see the value in an app that lets me organize and download my purchases in a convenient fashion.
