They set up a commission with gog if you buy games through heroic
Is this an actual, specific deal with Heroic, or some general affiliate linking thing?
No clue if it's heroic exclusive but it's more than just affiliate linking. Heroic embeds the actual gog store page in the launcher and gets a percentage of anything you buy per their agreement with gog
For the record, the affiliate link is listed here:
https://heroicgameslauncher.com/donate
Sounds technically just like affiliate linking, even if the browser is embedded.
https://affiliate.gog.com/
Just curious if there is a specific deal between Heroic and GOG.
