making it easier to get games onto their store
I don't believe this bit is true. They already had the submission form going for many years. And they still arbitrarily decide which game to allow on their store.

In other GOG news they're also doing their own thing for Pride Month, and a little differently this time too. Instead of just one game collection, they've made an entire page to highlight games across various categories including Masculine romance representation, Female romance representation, Featuring transgender characters and more.

No wonder they changed the name :huh:

Developers are being hounded because of the Tetris trademark for decades now. Which is why we are seeing titles like "falling blocks" or "form a line".

Okay I love this feature!

You can also easily add just a single app from the Heroic Games Launcher to the Steam client.

This is a big one for me on Steam Deck, desktop, and TV ten foot Big Picture.

Also --- is this how I learn Heroic Games Launcher has game controller support?!
