Planet Nomads release delayed until later this month, still looks promising

This one is on my GOG wishlist. It looks to be in the same thread as Planet Explorers.

Dawn of War I would be nice.

Quoting: MintedGamerI've given up on waiting for the Galaxy client for Linux, and Witcher 3. Its clear that Linux users are an afterthought to CDPR and GOG.

Valve have done a HUGE amount to make Vulkan and Linux gaming more viable and the number of games in Steam is rapidly increasing, while CDPR have done nothing to help Linux gaming and have been giving empty promises about the GOG Linux client for many years now. My money goes to Valve every time.
Has GOG ever contributed anything to Mesa or Vulkan or any Linux gaming related project? That is one of the main differences that makes Steam more "Linux friendly". Valve gets out there and hoists up the foundation for Linux games while GOG just kind of farts out Linux ports 3~4 years after every other store has already hosted the Linux version of the same game.

I sound like a harsh critic but honestly nearly half my games library is with them and it's just frustrating to see them squander so much potential granted by GOG's unique position.

Quoting: QantouriscI counted only 5 degrees of freedom:
X Y Z Location, Z,X Rotation
X, Y and Z are each counted as two in this case.

As clearly stated in the article, GOG do not have Linux versions.
Grabbing (GOG connect) anyways just in case the sloths at GOG eventually decide to add the Linux builds.

A general attitude here seems that it's harder to port games which are older. But the good news is that older games tend to be easier to package in a wrapper or emulator!

Sad to say that I no longer want to invest time into Minecraft simply because it is now at risk of spontaneously ending support for Linux. I don't think it is a matter of if, but a matter of when. Minetest is my go-to these days.
