This looks quite fun as a game for kids. Pity it only comes on Steam, I won't risk leaving a logged in Steam account for my brother, but I'd totally buy this from GOG or itch.

Quoting: HendrinMckayI have a large amount on both platforms, although more on Steam. If a developer is going to spend the time support Linux, I'm going to support them, regardless of the platform. Second, Valve themselves are supporting Mesa development. Plus the whole no GoG Connect on Linux bothers me to no end. To only support GoG.com(and CD Projekt) only hurts Linux as a gaming platform in my opinion.

When it comes right down to it, I don't think we will see eye to eye on most of this. I have my opinions and you have yours. To each there own. I'm not going to stop buying from Steam (or GoG, or Itch, or Humble) and I'm sure nothing I can say will have you buy something from Steam.

To be fair to GOG, they've said they'll bring GOG Galaxy to Linux eventually. They recently released it for MacOS and Linux is next ;)

One thing GOG does much better than Steam is not needing a 32 bit runtime. Although Vale seems to be contributing to Flatpak development to become more flexible with their runtime, so that should eventually stop being a concern. BTW, has anyone benchmarked a game both on Steam and on GOG to see the performance impact of the steam client, Steam runtime(Ubuntu 12.04 packages compiled with old GCC and lacking subsequent performance optimisations) and DRM(though I would assume games that are sold on both don't contain DRM)?

Can you add an option to "add your OS to the database" if you select not listed? I'm running Peppermint 7

I find the UI very unfriendly. Adding a "your PC details" under "Submit" could help.
