From their about-page:
We make games last forever
A home for building and playing your curated game collection, GOG is a digital distribution platform that puts gamers first and respects their need to own games.
GOG.com is Part of Polish CD PROJEKT group.
Why? Just use heroic.
I want to track time played with GOG.
I want to track achievements with GOG.
I want to chat with my friends via the overlay.
I want cloud sync for my Linux games (only available for game installed as Windows application, means buying a Linux native game pointless).
Because I like GOG’s client.
Because I want to use GOG’s client.
Because I am human and my resons are not solely on logic but emotions as well.
Heroic is a great client but I want to use GOG’s client. That should be reason enough.
It’s a digital distribution and shop site…
Those wishes are akin to demanding libre office calc to be a database.
