Better UX until you have to download or update a game… there is an open bug report where it just doesn’t progress but keeps starting new processes until you‘re OOM. Still no fix in months, I’ve had to boot into Windows for every single update. Really not that good of an UX.
I read it somewhere awhile ago. You’re killing me asking for a source, goddamn.
EDIT: somewhat ironically, here’s a Reddit thread where a developer says they are a part of the affiliate program, so, I don’t know much funding that brings in. It sounds like a less formal arrangement than I was imagining:
IIRC GOG is actually partnered with HeroicLauncher… so… it’s semi official to use that… and better UX.

heroic has no download throttling, very annoying for shared/shitty networks and large games
Affiliate links are not business partnerships. Does Heroic have anything more than that with GOG?
EDIT: The answer is no, GOG is not partnered with Heroic Games Launcher.
Gog funds Heroic.I actually think it’s a fairly decent compromise (although I prefer Lutris), since Gog is clearly not interested in paying to maintain a Linux port.
EDIT: Wrong(ish)! See below.
By some other means than affiliate link payouts? I’m not aware of any such arrangement, but if one exists, can you link some details about it?
