GOG will get built-in mod support – “it’s just matter of how soon”

GOG, CD Projekt’s DRM-free digital distribution service, recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. In the past decade, the store has become one of the biggest Steam alternatives on PC, but there’s at least one area where Valve’s store is ahead - mod support. But it sounds like something akin to a GOG Workshop is on the way. Built-in mod support, in theory, would allow players to directly download fanmade content through a centralized delivery mechanism, likely through the GOG Galaxy client. Integrated mod downloads tend to be a bit less versatile than manual installations, but it’s tough to beat the convenience. Managing director Piotr Karwowski tells Eurogamer that new GOG features are typically driven by developer requests. “If they say 'guys we need the ability to upload patches ourselves', we deliver it. If we have a game where the dev says 'guys we'd like to sign the release but this is an important feature for us', then this automatically boosts the priority of it.” Mod support will happen, according to Karwowski - “it's just matter of how soon.”
