I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

Could they not just support the Heroic Game Launcher and call it official? That's what I'd do. By support I mean mostly financial.

    Sure! But by support I mean:

    • officially link to it and offer some level of customer support
    • at least financially contribute to it, and perhaps provide dev resources as well
    • provide Heroic developers access to pre-release versions of any new API they introduce so support could theoretically land day 1

    But not being hostile toward it is not enough for me to call it "support," so I'm going to feel like a second-class citizen until GOG does something official.

    @sugar_in_your_tea @Holzkohlen so DRM free on steam is legit as it is on gog? If so, then I I just buy it on steam and not need a launcher or have any worries about not owning the purchase.

    YMMV of course, but I've played several Steam games without Steam running at all when my kids were playing on my account on another computer. I just killed the Steam process and ran the games from the commandline, and it worked fine.

    These were Linux native games, so I'm not exactly sure on the best method to play Windows games without Steam (I guess lutris like anything else, but I haven't needed to).
