I know Liam isn't very fond of GOG due to their stance on Linux, and I myself haven't spent any money with them for months now either, but still, voting can only help.

And this is without DOTA2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Left 4 Dead 2 i.e. the Valve games that are not yet out for Linux and have considerably more players a day than any other Valve games. Once those hit, we should see another increase. I cannot wait! Go Linux!

I was thinking 10 000 000 additional users thanks to Steam delivering some decent gaming support on Linux. I was fooled!

That trailer really reminded me of Heroes of Might and Magic, a franchise I truly adore. Gabe really is pushing developers to support Linux, it seems!

Shame I don't actually have a job right now or I would be all over this. :D Still, the laptop seems a bit overpowered considering all the games available for Linux!

I can't wait till Valve officially releases Steam for Linux with a bunch of optimized games. It will be spectacular. Perhaps they will even see server issues like they do during holiday sales! I myself play a lot of Team Fortress 2 on Windows 7 so this is only making the deal sweeter for me.

Well, that sucks. At least you didn't implement a CAPTCHA that requires you to input a very illegible sequence of letters every time you wish to post. I would be outta here otherwise! :p

GOG has done so much good for me, I am not about to drop them over one hiccup. Yes, the reasons do seem odd, but when they put more effort into ensuring that all games work for supported platforms, no matter how old or new, I guess it makes sense to some extent. Still doesn't stop me from having the request to add Linux versions of games to GOG in my forum signature in every forum I am a part of.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 6668, member: 6"Why must they be on GOG? They are great games by great developers and I would really like to see you support them, but it is your call of course.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 6670, member: 122"You'll need to wait for GOG to support Linux first (so far as I'm aware, that's not happening any time soon).

As another option, if you buy Trine from their official websites, you get DRM free versions (as well as Steam keys). There's a collectors edition of Trine 2 which comes with a digital art book and soundtrack (which I imagine would be the extras that GOG would have).

Also, it was fantastic to see Distance get so close to its second stretch goal ^_^

I enjoy having my collection of games in as few places as possible and as GOG truly represents what gaming on the PC should be like (no DRM, no regional pricing, and so on), I feel very much inclined to support them. I have enough games to play as is so I can definitely wait. GOG has just impressed me that much up till now. They will definitely be coming to Linux, the question is simply when.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 6370, member: 122"Overgrowth has split screen multiplayer. Trine and Trine 2 have local coop (though the screen doesn't split). I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of others as well (though nothing that I use, as I have a LAN in my house :D )

I am waiting for Trine and Trine 2 to get their Linux versions on GOG before I buy them. In order for that to happen, Trine 2 should probably come out on GOG first. Didn't know those games had local cooperative play!
