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

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.
