Quoting: Solitary

Quoting: hummer010

Quoting: elbuglioneStop GOG advertising, they are NOT Linux friendly.

My GOG account has over 200 Linux games that would say otherwise.

I don't want their client, so I don't really care if they ever make it for Linux, so long as they continue to sell Linux games.

That does not really say anything about GOG being Linux friendly though, <snip>

How so? Do they sell and support Linux games? Yes. Sounds pretty Linux friendly to me. Sure GOG could be doing more to support Linux. But you have to remember, they could also be doing less.

Quoting: Guest200 games... But how do you update them? Even if you just install 10% it would be a lot of manual work. The thing is, nobody expects from GOG to offer all features on Linux, just the basics like install and update games. This is not really any effort for them, I don't believe them.

Is it really that much work to update games manually? The beauty of updating manually is that the update happens when I want it to.

lgogdownloader and gogrepo make update management pretty easy.

It is a bit troubling that there are games that don't have a Linux version on GOG due to the lack of Linux Galaxy (Descent Underground is one).

I backed this on KS based on the Linux promise. From what I've seen, the game looks and sounds fantastic! Hopefully they can deliver on the promised scope / quality, as well as the on the Linux port!

So far, Compulsion have been one of my best experiences on KS. Communication has been fantastic. I look forward to every weekly update they send. They've been very informative on the whole process of developing the game.

Quoting: razing32Mods seem to already work.
Or am I missing something ?

Depends on the mod.

Quoting: Solitary... because if the games are DRM free, they are DRM free on Steam too and if they are not, then they aren't and won't ever be on GOG anyway...

This is actually not true. It's surprising to me how many games are available DRM free from GOG and Humble, and are DRM'ed on Steam. Off the top of my head, both Firewatch and Hand of Fate are available DRM free from GOG, and both are DRM'ed on Steam. I know there's more, but those are the two I remember right now.

I wonder if the Linux version will make its way to GOG? I've already got Silver there.

I've got 186 Linux games in my GOG account that would say otherwise.

lgogdownloader kicks much ass, and is the reason I won't be using Galaxy on Linux any time soon. It's open source, lightweight, and does everything I need it to do.

Regarding the games on GOG that are lacking a Linux port, when a Linux port is available elsewhere, there is a page in the GOL wiki for that:

Too bad - I just miss the cut. I bought KSP in December of 2013. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to give Squad more of my money.
