GOG Integration

[aos-antos]

- Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes, the feature request is related to the problem of old games with LAN functionality that lack active multiplayer support. This can be frustrating for players who want to enjoy these games with friends but are unable to do so due to the absence of integrated multiplayer options.

- Describe the solution you'd like

The solution would involve collaborating with GOG to launch these old LAN-enabled games on their platform with an integrated software solution for LAN multiplayer functionality. This integration would allow players to easily access and play these games with friends over LAN or a simulated multiplayer environment.

- Describe alternatives you've considered

Using third-party tools or software to emulate LAN connections for multiplayer gameplay.
Relying on unofficial mods or community patches to enable multiplayer features in these games.
Exploring other platforms that might offer similar functionality for old LAN-enabled games.

- Additional context

GOG already hosts many older games, some of which have LAN options but no active multiplayer support. Collaborating with them could leverage their existing infrastructure and expertise in preserving classic games. This would enhance the gaming experience for fans of retro titles while maintaining accessibility.

It is impossible. This specific tool use Steam server to 'simulate' a LAN connection. The function of this tool is IMO utilising Steam test API (Spacewar) for non-Steam games which is the method many pirated games use for LAN multiplayer.

The feature you mentioned is up to GOG itself. It has nothing to do with this project.
