With Linux gaming clearly showing it's becoming more popular, and with GOG under new ownership, there's hope yet that GOG will improve their Linux support.

      I think you underestimate how much money valve has, and how little GOG has.

      You don’t need a client, you just download Linux games from their site and run them.
