Quoting: NarvarthThese people just forget that DRM-free games on GOG are also DRM-free on Steam...

Wrong. There are plenty of games that are sold on GOG that are not DRM-free on Steam. Off the top of my head, Hand of Fate is a Linux game that is available on GOG, and is not DRM-free on Steam.

I use both, although Steam is typically only for bundled games and things I win on steamgifts. Generally, if I'm actually purchasing a game, it will be from GOG. Sometimes if the pricing is way out of whack, I'll buy on Steam and hope it hits Connect.

GOG + lgogdownloader = very simple game management with way more control than any client could give me. I would very likely not use Galaxy even it existed for Linux.

Most of the games I actually play on Steam don't require the client, and I manage them using SteamCMD instead of the actual client.

I also remember there being a discussion soon after the campaign ended that backers had to pick between platforms. Their plan was that a backer got Windows OR Mac OR Linux.

I did back this, so hopefully they get their shit together.

I have everything except Age of Wonders 3 - and with Triumph's refusal to bring the Linux port of AoW 3 to GOG, I'm not too keen to give them a sale of any kind.

Speaking of which... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598858095/system-shock/posts/2115044 [External Link] :/

Wow. I did not see that coming.

Quoting: adamhm"Tyrant developers"? I hope you don't tolerate the use of DRM either, as that's *way* more "tyrannical" behavior...

Anyway there are tons of great games that will never see a native Linux release & would be a shame to miss out on. My approach is to only buy Windows games that are old & deeply discounted/cheap enough that a Linux port is likely to never happen and only if they're DRM-free. Full/high price purchase = must support Linux + DRM-free

On top of that, buying the System Shock games supports Nightdive, who are bringing the new System Shock game to Linux.

I backed it. Anyone who backed Sundered (which I did) had the opportunity to get Pinstripe for free by backing Once Upon a Coma in the first 24 hours. Pinstripe's been on my wishlist since release, so the opportunity to get both games for $10 couldn't be missed!

Spoiler, click me

Reposting here as it's still relevant (and I updated all of my wrappers recently):

Older/classic games currently on sale on GOG that I've made Wine wrappers [External Link] for:

Crysis [External Link]
Crysis Warhead [External Link]
Deadly Premonition [External Link]
Deus Ex GOTY Edition [External Link] (flash deal)
Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition [External Link]
Freedom Force [External Link]
Freedom Force vs the Third Reich [External Link]
Hitman: Codename 47 [External Link]
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin [External Link]
Hitman 3: Contracts [External Link]
Jade Empire: Special Edition [External Link]
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Collection [External Link]
Mafia [External Link]
Mirror's Edge [External Link]
The Saboteur [External Link]
Sid Meier's Civilization IV: The Complete Edition [External Link]
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl [External Link] (flash deal)
STALKER: Clear Sky [External Link]
STALKER: Call of Pripyat [External Link]
System Shock: Enhanced Edition [External Link]
System Shock 2 [External Link]
Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico [External Link]
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition [External Link]

The flash deals seem to be repeating fairly regularly so if you want Deus Ex or STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl you probably won't have to wait too long before they show up again

Do your scripts remain entirely contained? i.e. WINE does not take a giant shit on the filesystem/DE settings/libraries?

Even still, the only way I would try a community WINE wrap is if said game is absolutely gratis. I don't want any money going to tyrant developers.

Entirely contained. Adam's scripts are as close to playing a native game as you can get using WINE. I highly recommend checking them out.

Quoting: KelsSo are the base games for PoE

Absolutely!!

I've never played any of the PoE DLC, and I really, really enjoyed PoE.

Quoting: KuromiShame they didnt put Pillars of Eternity as DRM-free even with Obsidian selling it DRM-free on GOG

If it's DRM-free it's DRM-free on steam as well. You just have to (or not) download it using their client.
Btw, for Stellaris, is it only the base game?

Not necessarily. There are plenty of games that are available DRM free on GOG or Humble that are DRM'ed on Steam.

I'm not sure about PoE though.
