*LOL* nice idea :) But better spend the money on defining/creating a platform so that GOG can address the linux ecosystem in a reasonable way. (technological, what Android did, defining a core system part and a stable binary API/ABI, to create open ISV platform)

But seriously,what would happen if someone would create a Indigogo or catincan [External Link] campaign to expand gogonlinux [External Link] to a professional level ?

First a C & D, then a lawsuit.

Quoting: liamdaweI feel I need to point out that me and Trevor are actually on really good terms and we shall hopefully be revisiting this issue in a years time :).

I do not think gog.com are evil and I will easily be a customer of theirs if/when they come over to our side.

I believe the term is "frenemies", correct?

I understand your reasoning now but I completely disagree, using market share like that (and a complete estimation of the actual marketshare which is heavily debated pretty much anywhere) should never be used like that.

Sure. Let me just add a coda here that, while I did not use any of our internal numbers for discussion here, we do know how many of our sales come from users who are on our website using Linux, and we were able to draw our own conclusions as to what expected growth we would see after we officially supported Linux--based on our own experience with MacOS--and while our numbers were quite different, the conclusions we reached are the ones I'm giving you.

Now it's getting interesting ;)

I am glad to see you track Linux sales stats in some form.

True, but that doesn't track the sales they've lost since Steam and Desura have come to Linux. I know that I have seriously curtailed my purchases on GoG in the last year (considering that my collection on GoG runs into the triple digits...). I'd rather buy from a platform that supports my OS of choice, even if the title isn't yet available for my OS.

Looks like an interesting title, playing Great Little War Game against a brainless AI is starting to get boring.

I'm interested.
