      • It’s DRM-free.
      • It’s (one of?) the only platforms that cares about preserving old games.

      If you prefer the Steam launcher (I do), you can always buy with GOG and launch with Steam.

        Do you have a source on how to do this? I keep seeing that you have to use Heroic Launcher or Lutis. I just want to buy games on GOG and then play them on my steam deck, but haven’t had time to figure out the best way to go about it

        Also, do GOG games only save to internal memory and not the SD card? I read that it one article, but don’t know if that’s still true.

        I’m still figuring out everything I can do with my steam deck, I just don’t have as much time as I used to, to REALLY tinker around with it

        I’m not a tech guru, but pretty familiar with linux and ok with using CLI (though I’ve never needed it on steam deck, just a point of reference for my comfortability)

          If you set your Steam Deck to desktop mode, the process is the same as on Windows.

          Click on “Games” in the top menu bar, then click “Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library.”
