A port by Ethan means a buy from me, in the case of this game it's going to be an instant one too. Thank you!

Been waiting on this, I love platformers, simple and fun.

Starship Theory just launched a Linux version, developer looking for feedback

At first impression I was gonna scream "FTL Clone/Copycat", I mean the graphics are very similar and all, but now that I'm watching the video it seems to be a little more than that. Will keep an eye on it.

This game is looking more inviting by the minute. How's the performance on Linux?

The share of Linux users on Steam is still holding steady

Another thing to consider is that plenty of people don't use Steam, taking myself for example, I buy games only from GOG on a regular basis. Taking this into consideration, the number of Linux gamers is higher than one might think.

Paradox has acquired Triumph Studios, makers of Age of Wonders & Overlord

Aah Triumph yes, the company it says it needs lots of money to provide a DRM-Free Linux version of AoW3 on GOG.

Being acquired by Paradox won't change the bad taste they left.

Ashes of the Singularity looking at Vulkan in August, paves the way for Linux support

August is not so far we'll see what happens then, I hope they'll port it at some point as I like the Sci-Fi RTS genre. Would pay full price for the complete package when that happens.

Some thoughts on AereA, the colourful & musical action RPG, a case of how not to make an RPG

All the characters feel slow
That's the first impression I got when I watched the trailer. Most RPG's are an insta buy for me, however this seems a bit more towards the younger audience so I'll be skipping it.

The graphics remind me of jRPG's which is something I like though.

Cossacks 3 finally in open beta for all Linux users

Hopefully they'll also release it on GOG when it's out of beta, many companies seem to forget there are Linux gamers on GOG (looking at you Techland....or should I say Lazyland).

Are you ready for some more Tyranny? Something is being teased for tomorrow

Quoting: GuestExcuse my ignorance, but what is an upgrade path?
I guess he means upgrading from edition to another.
So , if you have the base game edition and want to upgrade that to the deluxe edition.
Ah thanks! Makes sense that way, yes. I indeed see no such step-up, though many other games have it (on GOG). Sounds like a restriction from publisher to me, but what do I know :/
To lay all the cards on the table, Pillars of Eternity suffered the first from this and after contacting Paradox and Obsidian they both bounced it back on GOG. Up to this day, nothing has been done about it, and as a completionist as I am I ended up paying twice the amount a Steam user would (regardless of how much discount there is). That ended there.

Tyranny was on the horizon, the game was released as per the usual triple editions, both on Steam and GOG. Later on, Steam got the upgrade paths and here yet again the GOG version remains without.

--------------

So what does the above mean? It means that if you own the basic edition on GOG and wish to upgrade later for the extras you will be paying as if you're buying the game from fresh which typically results twice the amount as you would from Steam.

Strangely enough, many games released on GOG afterwards got upgrade paths. These 2 games however were left in the dark and are both developed and published by Obsidian and Paradox respectively.

Apologies if this seems to go off topic, it's something that has always bothered me and I wanted to get it off my chest.
