I have never tried Galaxy and i never will. I see no reason to use it.

Im using it and loving it, man those patches has really made it shine.
It is easy and it decluters my desktop and i dont have to worry about game updates :)
I do not use it to socialice, no need to clutter up the Galaxy.
What i want from it in the future, more lightweight, no traces, no social "apps".

Nope, never used, never will use, never had any need of client software in the 30 years I have been using computers. Don't play multiplayer, have no need of Friends or Achievements Total waste of resources to try to and attract the Steam Brigade.

I started using it so I could get rid of my collection of gog installers I keep on a secondary HDD, it was close to a terabyte large and I needed the space. Also auto-updates are nice too.

Not using it, not needing it, not trusting it. In fact, not even trusting it enough to uninstall it (due to the wipe-all-games-upon-uninstall bug).

Still using the gog downloader whenever i can. Some links don't work, then i turn to manual download.

I've tried it some months ago, but wasn't convinced... I plan a halfhearted retry in around half a year. I don't see much point in a gaming client for a singleplayer gamer anyway.

jamyskis: If you were getting BSODs from using Galaxy then chances are there is something more fundamentally wrong with your system.
Yes, primarily that Galaxy was running as a SYSTEM service, which got an access violation, resulting in a BSOD. Ergo someone wasn't careful enough when dereferencing a pointer, assuming that something existed on my system, which in fact did not.

(Of course this is just a possibility, I just wanted to give the easiest possible explanation)

hummer010: I'd say anyone who is a Linux user isn't using galaxy yet.
Yeah, I'm waiting till I can use it in Linux to test it. Having the games up to date sounds good for me. As long as it remains optional.

waiting for it to come out of beta. that and i hate using a chrome clone.

Never did, never plan to.

I don't use it. I enjoy my GOG experience without it!
Posted October 07, 2015
Not sure if I'll have any use for it, but currently that question is irrelevant, because as a linuxer, I can't use it anyhow.
Posted October 07, 2015
I still don't use it. I'm not interested in achievements and multiplayer games and I like to handle installs and updates manually. So no reasons to use Galaxy.

The only interesting feature for me is the rollback option. But I guess if you really need an old version of a game, you could also get it by writing to support.

No. I uninstalled it completely when the damn thing started to rummage in my PC identifying the GOG games that i installed outside Galaxy (Might and Magic VII and Wastealnd 2 were installed through their normal installers, and yeah i do own them). Galaxy had no business to identify anything else that what was installed through them. So, i consider that an attack to my privacy, as i do not know what other data collects.

Will stick to the site installers from now on.
