I’d be very surprised if Valve actually reached out to them.
GOG finally remove the false "in progress" note about GOG Galaxy for Linux

GOG reluctantly provide Linux versions of some games. They don't provide Galaxy which means there are missing features in many of those games, like multiplayer or leaderboards. They basically tell people: look, you can game on Windows and get everything, or, yeah, you can game on Linux if you're insane and are OK with missing features and a lesser experience.
Valve provide everything for Linux, from a full-featured client up to enabling Windows-only games to run on Linux with full features. Feral ports are Feral's fault, not Valve's. You can always install the Windows version, which Valve directly allow and enable you to do, to get cross platform multiplayer.
When you buy from GOG, you support the game's creators and GOG, who do nothing to make Linux a more attractive gaming platform. When you buy from Steam, you support the game's creators and Valve, who spend huge amounts of money to make Linux gaming viable (the reason why they do it is debatable, but irrelevant here).
So, yeah. No hypocrisy there.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI'll never understand the logic of Linux gamers. GOG gets criticized for not having a Linux version of their client by the same people who, a majority of, run out in droves to buy Windows games to play in Wine/Proton. It's ok for them to support those who don't support Linux but not for GOG to not offer a Linux version of their client, even though they sell Linux versions of games. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.There is no comparison between Valve's and GOG's support of Linux.
But without Galaxy, some games end up missing features for LinuxSome Linux ports on Steam also have this issue such as Feral ports that don't have cross platform multiplayer.

I was talking more about console than PC, but fair enough.

I’m all for opening up to new audiences and it’s awesome people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to play get to enjoy stuff.
Do achievements/trophies pop when using such assists? If they do, that makes any, ahem, achievement meaningless. Not that they have any meaning in the first place, ofc.

Quoting: chelobakaAnd the story is only nominally the same, there are some very big differences.Quoting: mr-victoryAren't the recommended specs a bit high for a remake of a 25 year old game?It's a complete remake not a remaster. All that's left of original game is a story and characters.

bought a PS1 to play FFIX and have been a console player ever since.

Quoting: Blender-samaCan someone explain the different FF7 Remake Versions? I didn't follow it closely and I think I read that there will be multiple parts.There was the Remake on PS4, then, together with the PS5 version they put out a Yuffie episode DLC and these together are the intergrade edition. All this is only the first part of the game; part 2 just got a first trailer, it's called FFVII Rebirth.

Where they have servers, probably. Not great for people from other places, admittedly.

You realise it’s 5% of 1%, which means 0.05% of all users?
