Are GOG.com About To Support Linux?

Quoting: KristianThey want a great UX for server software their staff has to use because they care about their staff. Seems pretty obvious to me, like I said on their forums they will support Linux when pigs fly in a frozen hell with a church in it.
I honestly hope you are wrong.

I think gog.com would be great for Linux.

Quoting: Quote from liamdaweIt seems that even when I state "pure speculation" people still compare my articles to Phoronix :(, maybe I need to make a massive banner stating "this could be completely untrue".
where did I compare your article with a phoronix article ? all I said was that the desktop might be taken with a grain of salt as it also ask for a network/http which are not desktop related (for good old games).  For the rest I hope your right but I feel its just wishful thinking.  

If that upsets you and you feel I compare you with phoronix well then not sure what to say
That wasn't aimed at you so don't worry, was generalising at people who do it.

Thanks anyway.
It's custom coded by me and no one is perfect. Thanks for the insult ;), jokes aside I have been told a simple way to do it so it's not even necessary now, so this post is a tiny bit redundant.
Quoting: n30p1r4t3YES!

By the sounds of it the version on 30th will be the official Linux version, not a Beta.

Quoting: lewisjust got mine via gog.com's summer sale and YEP, there's absolutely NO SIGN of linux support there

Why buy Windows games and then be disappointed that there's no Linux version?
Indeed that wasn't a smart move.

Going by a reddit discussion the source code was leaked from someone buying a second hand PC so who knows maybe they are using that code, only time will tell.

Probably a lot easier to port an older title that already has a mac version.
