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.
*Now then GOG—how about Galaxy on Linux next yes? We've been pretty patient on that I think…
Quoting: obscurenforeignThanks, guess I'll try and figure out how then.
You need to contact support for that.
Quoting: UnshraWell looks like I have a lot to look forward to if GOG Galaxy is ever released for Linux.Well they will… just don't expect it to be like this year. Maybe not even the other…
But to be realistic their client is nothing to wait for.
I would rather see Lutris integrate GOG support. Last I checked they were working on it, but were not completely ready at the time.

Thanks. In the intervening time since my last time I managed to figure it out, (my browser wasn't displaying the support pages right) contacted support and they already changed it for me. That's pretty nice! :)
Quoting: LungDragoBack in the day in my teenage years I used a software called Xfire which had a "gaming" profile showing the hours I poured into games. Back then I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now I just feel old.
there was no review bombing back then. Now that's a thing, you need to combat it.
Quoting: x_wingI mean, it's just a game downloader launcher, there is no technical difficulty for doing so (well, at least if you don't start your project using .net technologies :/).
Nothing to do with .Net. .Net Core is fully supported by MS on Linux and is fast too.
