Quoting: CyrilAny chance to see it coming on GOG or itch.io?
No idea, but if you're not already aware it's always been completely free [External Link] and always will be.
I mean this new version obviously. But I got my answer, they do have a itch.io page for it, so I'm fine and I'll be waiting for it there.
This is news to me. Could you provide a link? Maybe Liam could include it in the article.

Hades from Supergiant Games gets improvements for the Steam Deck

Quoting: CyrilI'm not usually much on that side, but I think Proton, in this case, just killed the Linux release and a studio who has been a great Linux friendly from the past 10 years.
It's a bit heartbreaking.
In this case, I think it was more that Epic killed the Linux release (as seems to have happened with other games). Supergiant's previous Linux versions were done by Ethan Lee rather than as multiplatform development with in-house expertise, and what's the point of contracting out for that when your game's Epic-exclusive & Epic don't sell Linux games?
Yeah I think that can counts too.
But that didn't prevent other studios to do Linux versions anyway even after the EGS period.
Like Griftlands for example and possibly others, I just took a look at this list:
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_available_on_Epic_Games_Store [External Link]

And looking at some of their answers, here [External Link] and there [External Link], I really think that's more Proton than EGS.

As a small independent game studio trying to stay in business over time and be a reasonably sustainable place to work for our employees, ultimately we have to make hard choices.
This... seeing as Hades is a huge success, a lot more than their other games (solely based on the reviews count on Steam for each I admit, but still) I don't buy it...
And that's only about the Linux version.

What about the release on GOG or itch.io?
No reasons given.

So, clearly, Supergiant Games have changed, good for them, too bad for me.

Hades from Supergiant Games gets improvements for the Steam Deck

I'm really disappointed by Supergiant Games since their latest game Hades.
All of their games were available on Linux natively AND like in all stores available: Steam, GOG and itch.io.
I mean everybody can be happy with that.

But with Hades? Still no Linux release and the game is not available on much stores, EGS and Steam...

I'm not usually much on that side, but I think Proton, in this case, just killed the Linux release and a studio who has been a great Linux friendly from the past 10 years.
It's a bit heartbreaking.

I have all of their games on GOG and some on itch.io I think (from a bundle). Sometimes I make an exception and buy some Windows only games, but I don't want to buy them on Steam or EGS, it's my choice.
And I want more choices for everybody.
So for now, from my point of view, there is no way I'll buy Hades, and it's of course too bad 'cause the game looks wonderful.

Quoting: CyrilAnyone know if the GOG version will get the multiplayer mode?
If not I'm afraid it won't receive updates anymore...
Quoting: GuestAlso wondering if the GOG version gets multiplayer, cross-platform with the steam version, or not.
" Multiplayer feature available only in the Windows version "

The sad reality of most multiplayer games on gog (ب_ب)
But this is old, at the time the Linux version didn't have yet multiplayer...
