How do you define the difference?
User Friendly: Easy to use.

Consumer Friendly: Respects the rights of the consumer.

Oh well now - that totally depends on how you define "user friendly". One of my major arguments for Steam is precisely that it by far the most user friendly alternative, both in regards to the cloud storage of save-games (where that feature is utilised), the unified, cross platform chat feature with friends, and especially in regards to patching. It's all integrated in one client, one framework.

To claim this is not user-friendly is - if I am to be a bit blunt - really quite fanatic from the anti-drm camp. It is exactly what it is - very user friendly. That's the challenge GOG needs to tackle.

It's a really, really good game. It's right up there with Kerbal as my one of my favorite early access game that I ever bought.

I added Mafia & Mafia II because of your wrappers. I haven't tried Mafia II yet, but I put an hour of flawless gaming into Mafia this morning.

Thanks for all your hard work!

That's a great bundle ... if I didn't already own every single Linux game in it!

Apparently, I really like Daedalic :)

It's time to begin your descent, as the six-degree-of-freedom shooter 'Overload' is now out

I backed this one too, and I'm very happy I did. I've tried out the pre-release builds, but never more than a few minutes here and there. I didn't want to burn out on it before the final release.

The pre-release builds were soooo good, I can hardly wait to get home and fire this up!

They also said on Twitter they are working on bringing the Linux version of Postal 2 to GOG, but no ETA on that.
I wouldn't get too excited about that. Back in 2015 RWS said that Paradise Lost was coming to GOG too, and it hasn't quite happened yet.

I like how the Onyx / Classic Joystick bundle costs $1 more than buying the Onyx and Classic Joysticks separately. Good deal on that bundle!

The Humble Monthly Bundle just added two great Linux games

I have no interest in Destiny 2, so I'd already paused my monthly. Time to go unpause...
