    [​IMG]PC Gamer reports that GOG wants to unite all game launchers with Galaxy 2.0:

    GOG's quest to unite all game launchers just might work, and Microsoft is already on board

    GOG Galaxy 2.0 wants to bring every game library and social interaction to one open source program.

    Steam, Origin, Uplay, the Epic Games launcher, Battle.net, the Xbox app-there are too many launchers. It's the mantra of 2019, growing in volume and cadence with each passing day. Game companies want as much control over messaging and money as possible, and pushing their own game ecosystems is the way to achieve it.

    From a strictly corporate perspective, I get it. But as someone that literally forgot he owns Forza Horizon 4 from launcher overload, I'm mad. I won't get into the weeds over exclusives and platform superiority here, but there's no debate that splitting our game libraries and friends across six or so different programs sucks. No matter where you stand, there's likely no changing the current trajectory of launcher-mania, which is why I'm so surprised GOG might solve the launchers problem with, well, a launcher.

    In an E3 meeting with GOG representatives, I got an early look at GOG Galaxy 2.0, the launcher that just might unify them all. It sounds too good to be true and the tech is still taking shape, but if it works I am all in.
