So I've never bought from companies like steam or epic in the past because I flatly refuse to install a client that does stuff to my PC which I have no control over. I like galaxy just fine because I can uninstall whenever I want and my gog games keep on working. I don't even have to run galaxy if I don't feel like. Its a perfect example of exactly what a game client should be.

Now for the question: if I create say an epic account and buy a game through it, can I now download and install it through galaxy WITHOUT having to load epic's stupid client as well? I don't care if the game breaks if I uninstall gog galaxy, I'm fine with that part, but I am not willing to load another client.

What makes you think Epic would allow only GOG to keep all that precious data they can collect from your playing habits? The Galaxy client is only a frontend for the other launchers, you still need to have them installed and run them in the background in order to play any games that require them.

At best you could set up an old notebook to run the EGS client, install the games there, copy them to your primary gaming computer, do whatever it takes to get them to run without the EGS client and then add them manually to the Galaxy client, but I would not be surprised if GOG's deal with Epic has something to do with Epic wanting to close that loophole...

Well at that point I wouldn't be bothering with a launcher. But yes that's annoying. Ok, so new feature I have no use for.

Thanks!
