Hi,

really can not remember Galaxy was working on mac once without problems during the last 4 Years. It is either not starting up or (intel mac and the m3 max) or it can not be closed. If you try to quit it you are presented with broken windows that need to be force killed. Even worse there is no proper way to uninstall Galaxy. I was just so feed up with this crappy piece of software that I wanted to uninstall it. But guess what, putting it into the bin does not suffice. There will be startup items some overlay shit in spotlight and lots of files all over your hard drive.

To give you an idea I have put below some code, that I use to find files and dirs that are related to gog. The files in the parenthesis behind `gog_dirs` are the dirs that I have identified so war on my machine, but I have not looked for single files yet.

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash

ignore=(
"/System/Volumes/Data/Users"
"$HOME/Library/Application Support/Firefox"
)

gog_dirs=(
"/Users/Shared/GOG.com"
"/System/Volumes/Data/Users/Shared/GOG.com"
"$HOME/Library/Application Support/GOG.com"
"$HOME/Library/Saved Application State/com.gog.galaxy.savedState"
"$HOME/Library/Saved Application State/com.gog.galaxy-web-installer.savedState"
"$HOME/Library/HTTPStorages/com.gog.galaxy-web-installer"
"$HOME/Library/Caches/com.gog.galaxy-web-installer"

PS: Dear GOG please do not delete the post, I am customer since years and this should not end in bad blood. This is a grievance not only to me, but others as well and you should fix it! Other people use some doubtful cleaners to get rid of your software and probably end up with having spyware on their machines (just try google).
I totally agree with you. I recently got a MBA in addition to my gaming PC and I'm extremely disappointed with the state of macOS support by GOG. Galaxy is the worst since it leaves stuff all over your hard drive.

Even using standalone installers many things are wrong:
- Package is not signed so you need to enter an exception for it.
- It asks for a folder location but never tells you why.
- Game (Stardew Valley) did not work!
- Still no uninstaller!!! If it was a .dmg package the way to uninstall would be obvious but this is a .pkg installer, so who knows what it does on installation.

In the last decade I've always favoured GOG over the competition since it is one of the only place where you truly own your purchase. But not, I've done a complete 180. I'm switching to buying multi-platform games exclusively on Steam. I'm considering even doing it for Windows only games.

All in all GOG, mac gaming might be a tiny niche, but some of us are also pretty big Windows gamers. By neglecting one side, you're losing my purchases on both.
