GOG Galaxy 2.0 aims to bring games from all PC and console platforms under
one roof
https://tinyurl.com/y4q7rvcu
GOG Galaxy is a Steam-like client for GOG's digital storefront that's really
quite good and offers the added bonus of being completely optional: You can
conduct all your GOG-related business through it, or you can ignore it
completely and continue downloading your games directly from the site and
running them through Windows Explorer—or a DOS prompt, if you're a truly
dedicated retro-type.
Galaxy 2.0, announced today, sounds like a more ambitious undertaking, as it
promises to combine all of your games, online friends, and other data in one
place. The idea is that you'll connect the new client to your various online
accounts and platforms, including consoles—a list hasn't been confirmed yet,
but a rep said that the goal is "to have all major platforms officially
integrated in the app"—at which point it will import your libraries and
friends lists, essentially acting as a big-tent overlay for Steam, EGS,
Origin, and so forth. It will also track all of your achievements and hours
played across platforms, support cross-platform chat, and offer various
sorting, filtering, and collection comparison options.
User data will be stored online to enable simple syncing between devices, but
GOG made a point of emphasizing that privacy is paramount: It explicitly
states on the Galaxy website that "we're not spying on data from your
computer" and won't share it with third parties; you'll also be able to
remove your imported data from Galaxy servers "with a single click."
Details are light at this point: On how you'll actually add games, for
instance, an FAQ states, "In GOG Galaxy 2.0 you’re adding games through
official and community created integrations. By connecting platforms, the
data about the games you own is automatically imported to the application. On
top of that you will also be able to manually add single games that are not
connected to any platform."
And on those "community created integrations": "We want to offer integrations
with all possible gaming platforms. This is a challenging and time-consuming
process, not only because these are technically complex projects, but they
also require negotiations and agreements with partners. We want all our
official integrations to be supported by respective platform holders, so we
make sure they’re in-line with partners’ policies and that they’re safe."
"While we’re hard at work on adding more official integrations, we’ve
decided to give you—the community—an opportunity to work on your own open
source platform integrations. We’re currently polishing the documentation
that will be shared with you to help you build your own platform integrations
for GOG Galaxy 2.0."
Galaxy 2.0 has also been "rebuilt from the ground up" to offer better
performance than the current client, and like the original Galaxy the updated
version will remain entirely optional: If you just want to be left alone to
download your games and play them in quiet solitude as God and nature
intended, that will continue to be totally cool. If you want to fully embrace
the future, however, you'll need to keep the other clients installed on your
PC.
"We’ve been in contact with several partners already, as we aim to have
official integrations with all major platforms. We want all our official
integrations to be supported by respective platform holders, so we make sure
they’re in-line with partners’ policies and that they’re safe," a GOG rep
said. For now, however, it's not saying who those partners are.
It's pretty clear that GOG is taking direct aim at growing frustration with
the number of launchers that gamers have to deal with these days, as well as
possibly more disingenuous concerns about data privacy driven by the rise of
the Epic Games Store. That might be a little opportunistic, but even so the
big idea behind it is still a good one. Whether it will satisfy its intended
audience will depend largely on the success of its implementation, but if GOG
can pull it off it could turn Galaxy from a niche client that most of us
probably ignore into an essential gamer utility.

稳扎稳打不要搞奥步都行

GOG: 隐私是至关重要的

恶心，意图乱我steam平台者，虽远必诛

赞赞赞，这事就是要我大 GOG 来做

暴雪要不要考虑整合PC跟手机平台

GOG又开始烧钱了XD

又要做死了

我觉得很棒 但不懂的是 其他平台怎么会肯呢

用看看

有用，平台多了很可能不小心买到重复游戏

就平台的平台

整合平台的平台?

就整合平台的平台没错,据GOG讲法你可以把各家(steam/EGS/origin等)上的游戏列表整合进他们家,要启动游戏或对游戏做分类都很方便.然后也整合各家的好友列表/成就数据等等

游戏界的Trivago

等这种整合平台的平台变多了之后 就会有整合整合平台的平台 然后之后又...

微软表示：

满满的大平台～

原来是Trivago啊XDD

还是GOG的想法比较贴近使用者

游戏界 Trivago 的概念，真的做起来感觉很贴近使用者

GOG真香

整合平台是好事。我现在钱都是优先砸GOG。= =

还真的很像Trivago的概念

先把接口弄得好用一点吧

E粉好了啦 相关新闻都试图在推文引战 不累啊

佛心公司 只好推了

原来不是快倒了

Epic : 那我只好买下所有平台惹

看前几楼就有人想反串招黑 笑死

游戏平台由我来统治

点进去看到隐私权声明就笑了"我们不会监控你电脑上的数据" 偷婊EPIC

平台的平台终于姗姗来迟

是要跟 launchbox竞争了ㄇ？

大平台时代来临 给你满满的大平台～

佛心公司

做整合超赛的，GOG在想什么啊XD

记得好像目前就有好几个平台可以连结各平台游戏让你看

“We’re not spying on data from your computer”是不是在讽刺谁啊XD

先婊E家

看他说明 这种整合还是需要安装原本的平台...比较像是... UBISOFT的游戏放在STEAM上卖这样同时要开STEAM跟UPLAY才能用UBI的云端储存

管理游戏管理器的管理器 lol

我自己也有个计划 是把所有3D软件的快捷键整合管理在一起这世界上永远不缺搞整合的人 ==

好像可行，让我们救救这个去年赚不到一人份收入的佛心公司

波兰蠢驴的目标是把钱烧光吗? 怕

GOG做事的话我无怨言 还不拯救佛心公司

游戏平台除了GOG自己以外几乎都绑DRM，当然还是得开啊..所以说他们最有资格喊没垄断

让我想到海盗船的愚人节产品https://youtu.be/9n4JAhskw0k

钱给你 cyberpunk快点出

E3会公布两项。

这项目也蛮烧钱的耶 年获利不到1万镁的gog蛮敢的 给推

我好怕你倒闭

gog像超热心网友开发一堆便民软件 而不是要赚钱的商人

我记得前几个月好像有同样的软件 忘记名称了https://playnite.link/ 找到了

没差 继续爽用epic
