While the news about Galaxy were intriguing, very little was actually said about it. Can we expect more information about this soon?

Here are a few questions I'd like to have answered. Feel free to add your own.

1. While autopatching is nice, will the client actually download and install the games themselves as well? I assume it will, but as far as I recall, they didn't say. And if so, will it replace the GOG Downloader?

2. So the Galaxy client will connect gamers on different platforms for multiplayer. How? That's what I'd like to know. If the Steam version of a game uses Steamworks for multiplayer, how will Galaxy connect non-Steamworks versions of the game?

3. Will Galaxy only work for games made specifically to support it, or will all our existing GOG titles work on it? If not, will existing titles be updated over time?

Anybody else have questions about Galaxy they'd like GOG to answer?
They apparently stated number 1 will be optional, so you can still patch them yourself manually when you feel like it.

Personally, I don't have enough info to even start asking questions.

Which means the GOG downloader will still be around, yes?
Does it make tea?

No clue.

No, I lie, I do have a clue. Staff mentioned the client was the reason for the downloader not having been updated for a while, so I wouldn't bet on the downloader too much.

I think we'd have to wait. People outside gog/cdpr can't possibly have a clue.

It makes DRM free pizza, but I was thinking of opening a wishlist item for hot chocolate as well.
The multiplayer server software released under some sort of open license, any chance of it? That's what I would really love to see, that's the best that can possibly happen to gaming, fullstop.

GOG Downloader will be replaced by the Galaxy Client when it goes live. We're not planning to incorporate any new features into it. But that's even better! We plan a lot for the Galaxy Client ;)

This does depend on whether it will only do so for the installed games, kind of how Steam does it, or if it will keep your backups up-to-date as well. Time will tell on this one.
I, for one, am quite excited for the Galaxy client, however I still would like to know the answers to the OP questions.

The main thing I'm wanting more info on is the multiplayer component to it (as well as the Cross Play thing). Although chances are they probably won't say much of anything until it's ready for public usage. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic about this.
