Wishbone: 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?
It will install and update games, you'll have access to your games library from the Client (so no need to schedule downloads from the website like it is right now with the Downloader). Yes, it will replace the GOG Downloader, we don't want 2 optional clients, right?

Wishbone: 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?
Let us worry about that :)

Wishbone: 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?
Games need to support our service like The Witcher Adventure Game.

StingingVelvet: I'm shocked that not only did it not launch today but there's literally no date or thorough information on it. Seemed like we waited a long time for this announcement but then it was pretty empty. I want my GOG client now darn it!

Still, looking forward to hearing more.
I want it out too! :)

liquidsnakehpks: wonder if the new OPTIONAL client will make getting dlcs on gog easier ? since steam it is optional to install the dlcs you own, now you can control what dlc to download , i think galaxy having a similar option will be nice.
You'll be able to choose if you want to play the original game or with DLCs (only if DLCs are a separate product on GOG, we're not talking about games which are already bundled with DLCs, you'll only get one option in that case). The client will sync required files over the Internet. At least that's the plan right now :)

Magmarock: I for one really like using the downloader and wouldn't want to see it go just yet. The Downloader is very good and keeping things organized for offline installation. Will galaxy offer that as well. Offline DRM free easy to organized files for installation and organizing.
Can't promise anything right now, not everything is finalised yet. We'll do our best to make everyone happy.
