Quoting: ShmerlDo you? You'll get same response from Steam, if you use Arch. Or more likely you won't get any response altogether. I don't personally use Ubuntu, but I don't expect them to troubleshoot distro specific issues either. They have officially supported distros and that's where you can expect support in case it's needed.

That's besides the point. I was not stupid enough to tell them "Hello, I'm using Fedora…". Instead I checked and made sure that the problem was universal for all distros and actually pointed out that Ubuntu is affected. Moreover, I told them how to fix it: just bundle those libs and append the PATH in the start script; I know they make those installers themselves (GOG came out with a stupid idea to bundle Galaxy installer in every installation package!) and not rely on developers. Everything was basically presented on a silver platter. Their response? "Use Ubuntu"™

Quoting: ShmerlStuff like libcrypto and etc. was removed from Debian testing, and I had to manually fix that. But it's not GOG's problem if developers link against outdated libraries. It's developers' bug. I'd report it to developers to begin with if you want to have it fixed actually.

It is more of the "Game Maker" problem. All those developers are hardly programmers, even less so "Game Maker" gurus. They just used 3rd-party engine (without access to its source code) so they are in no better position than any of us. Ideally, we need to reach out to "Game Maker" devs, but for all those games already using outdated version of the engine… Meanwhile, bundling libs may be a crude solution, but it at least solves the problem. And "Use Ubuntu"™ does not!

Quoting: ShmerlTheir Linux support is good, they actually react to bug reports if they can do anything about it.

Objection! Their Linux support is useless and almost in-existent. Every time I asked for help their response was "Use Ubuntu"™.

Everyone knows "Game Maker" games have unsolved issues with "libcrypto.so.1.0.0" and "libssl.so.1.0.0" which are unavailable even on Ubuntu (there are 1.0.2 versions instead which are NOT compatible with "Game Maker" ). It was pointed out to them multiple times. What did they do? "Use Ubuntu"™

"This War of Mine" is not working for more than half a year? "Use Ubuntu"™

GOG team is sure to talk the talk when it concerns "top-quality user support", but is unable to walk the walk, as it seems. Linux GOG community, on the other hand… I found solutions to all my problems precisely there!

Quoting: ShmerlThe main problem with GOG so far is not some lack of support, but lack of attention from developers / publishers, who don't bother to release Linux versions there even if they do it on Steam.

Like it is our problems! If GOG wants to become something more than a "Witcher Store" or "antique shop", it needs to take action and not just sit on its "fifth point" waiting for developers to notice it. Valve invests in Linux porting ("toGL", port of "Source Engine", agreements with Feral etc.); meanwhile GOG (or "CDProjekt" in general)… does what exactly?

"…released into Early Access…" :) How low have we fallen…

IMO, the game is either gets a "release", or "paid alpha-test" (AKA "Early Access").

Yes, GOG can be very self-righteous (and generally pain in the you-know-where to deal with), sometimes refusing to publish games under ridiculous reasons ("The puzzles in you game are too difficult for our audience" or "Your game has too little gameplay" ). :(

Wow! What a huge stream of wishful thinking! No indication the game will even be on Linux, yet, some people already calling this "great news"…

"The Withcher 3", anyone? Or should I say "Unreal Tounament 3"?

Quoting: InnerVoicesDevHello! ^_^
Just... don't drop the free keys on the internet, okay? Sorry for asking. Its just that.... Umm. 4 days before release on steam the game had been leaked on torrents by... one of the first reviewers/LetsPlayers. (Yeah, you've read that right - we gave a free DRM copy of the game for a review and the guy had put it on the internet...)

In this case, you'd better put that DRM-free copy on Humble Store, GOG and itch.io as well! ^.^

It looks AMD is ready to update its famous waffle irons line /\. :D

I like it! (but will wait for Ryzen2).

Quoting: InnerVoicesDev2 slots left <3

You should probably differentiate the public somewhat. Pick someone with relatively weak configuration and more AMD-inclined (currently there are too many InTel and nVidia users).
Find someone with FX or RyZen CPU or RX??? GPU.

P.S. I was not suggesting myself! :) That should be someone else.

Apparently, the games that will be added later will not be DRM-free (as the platform indicator shows). Or it is a mistake. No matter though, the value of currently offered games is high enough.

Quoting: InnerVoicesDevOh but its not just steam. Very soon we are entering Greenman Gaming, Itch.io and maybe GOG…)

OK, I'll give it a try. To be honest, I did not even hear about your game till yesterday, let alone saw it (and I am not keen on buying a cat in a sack). And currently Metacritic is not helpful at all… So, I need some time to evaluate the game properly (should probably watch some video on YouYube, read Steamcommunity etc.).

Hope your survey has reasonable life span (and will not expire, say, tomorrow). ;-)
