    Gog funds Heroic.

    By some other means than affiliate link payouts? I’m not aware of any such arrangement, but if one exists, can you link some details about it?

      I read it somewhere awhile ago. You’re killing me asking for a source, goddamn.

      EDIT: somewhat ironically, here’s a Reddit thread where a developer says they are a part of the affiliate program, so, I don’t know much funding that brings in. It sounds like a less formal arrangement than I was imagining:

        Yes, that’s what I thought: It’s just affiliate linking (aka marketing) that any app can use, not a partnership between Heroic and GOG. Thanks for following up and confirming it.

        Quoting /u/imLinguin in the post you linked:

        Heroic dev here. We are just part of the affiliate program since we help people access GOG on Linux easier. There is nothing more, so there is no need for official announcements from the GOG side.
