    I've had it about a week now. It's okay. Downloads seem a lot slower than using the GOG Downloader (which is crazy fast). I also wish they'd put a pause download button in and maybe it's just me but the list of installed games doesn't seem to do anything. I really like that it and most of its features are optional though.

    I'm very impressed so far, it's a very light application, which is good.
    I do hope it stays light and not a resource hog like steam is.

    I still like downloading full games manually and backing them up,
    but this looks ideal as you can scan already installed GOG games as well as remove them.
    That's nice as I can keep a few installed and forget about the rest of my GOG games until I want them.

    I'm liking it.

    They're planning matchmaking eventually, aren't they? That'll be interesting for older multiplayer games.

    just got this myself.

    I must say i am impressed, if they can build up their library of games it may be a decent rival to steam in years to come.

    It seems rather unnecessary outside of official-servers for games. If they just released their games as one download rather than splitting them into a bunch I'd probably not even use it.

    I'd actually really like it if they made a galaxy fork as a command line program. On windows or linux it would just be nice to be able to sign in to my GOG account and list, download, update, remove or modify my purchases with text. The UI is nothing special and I find the thing just takes a bit too long to start up. I just want to download and play my games.
