      GOG is funding the FOSS Heroic Games Launcher through an affiliate partnership

      GOG has an affiliate links program. Heroic signed up for that. GOG isn’t specifically funding Heroic. Wake me up when CD Project / GOG is hiring a developer of Mesa or something along those lines. You know, an actual part of the technology foundation that’s being used by a wide range of Linux distributions.

      An office worker sitting at a desk somewhere at a Linux-running PC is benefiting from technology advancements upstreamed by Valve as part of Steam Deck performance improvements.

      Edit: GOG’s “funding” is an advertising tracker:

        The end result is still part of GOG’s revenue going toward the development of Heroic.

        It doesn’t meet your high standard and that’s okay. I prefer to count my blessings in this regard.
