My problem with gog, at least when downloading through heroic is that the download speeds as wildly slow.
Sometimes I have the same game on epic and gog, but the gog game will take hours longer to download compared to getting it from epic servers.
I think it’s because of my region. (South east Asia)
Additionally, they do not have regional pricing for the country where I live, so everything is much more expensive than it is on Steam.
So, once they offer regional pricing, I’ll switch over, even with slower download speeds.
In India, with 200mbps connection, I get good speed.
Regional pricing is still a big problem, otherwise I would have bought a few more games other than Witcher 2. Most of my library was built when they gave away a lot of adult games when the CC companies were trying to ban nudity from game stores, and one time I got free trial of Amazon Prime, so I got a few more games from Amazon Luna.
