PayPalThe DRM-free store is having a pretty good sale with a lot of its most-wanted titles being significantly discounted.
There’s a lot to parse as 150+ titles and DLC are on sale. In case you don't know where to start, here are a few of my personal picks of Linux games that are worth playing:
Some of you may have tastes that differ from my own impeccable picks. In that case, don’t worry! There’s a large variety of games available on sale and it's more than likely that you'll find something that will appeal to you. When in doubt, make sure to check GOL in case we have a review or some thoughts on a game, it might help you decide if it's worth it.
This sale will be ongoing until April 23 so you have plenty of time to impulse buy whatever you like.
Please note that above links are affiliate links and GOL gets a little cut if you buy games using them.

History, sci-fi, technology, cooking, writing and playing games are things I enjoy very much. I'm always keen to try different genres of games and discover all the gems out there.
Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.

Of my 47 wishlisted games only 5 are on sale... Either I have a really weird taste or majority of people have no clue about games. Will go for the latter just in case xD

Just picked up the soundtracks for the all of the Baldur's Gate games since it still counts as another Linux sale, as well as Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition. Beamdog ought to love me today. If nothing else though, I am helping to diversify the local economy. ;)

Am guessing the bulk of the users on gog went for new releases and probably windows only games

I think most of these would run happily under wine. 90% off old games, 8minutes left, LMAO

Older/classic games currently on sale on GOG that I've made [...]
Thanks dude! I did not use your scripts yet but I had a look at them and they're pretty clean, straight forward but at the same time very advanced. I wrote some Wine-Prefix-Installer-Scripts myself, those always assume I already installed wine of the targeted system as well as other dependencies (since I got perfect control over these).
Nevertheless, did you consider to upgrade your scripts to make use of DXVK wherever it will benefit in better compatibility / performance in the future?

Or maybe the others didn't yet decide to buy the games you already got.
(Like DaiKaiser93, not yet having played SOMA. Oh, the envy...!)

My wishlist consists mostly of newer Windows-only games that I'm waiting to get either official Linux support or a big enough price drop before I consider buying them, and of 66 games in my wishlist only about 7 of them are on sale atm... and the discounts aren't that great.

Yes, I plan to look into using DXVK for games that will benefit from it :)

Wait for official Linux support so that it counts as a Linux sale
