GOG buyers can fuck themselves it seems.

Nice! I have an old controller from Guitar Hero 2 PS2, with an USB/PS2 adapter it works great. And Clone Hero is pretty cool, as I can play all the GH songs, and more, without swapping the DVDs, restart the console etc.
However, it seems Clone Hero hasn't be updated since last year... too bad it's not open source too.

I hope they plan to release it on GOG some time, that would be wonderful, as it's a big success!
No news about it?

I wanted to add one thing about the lack of Linux/macOS releases on GOG thought.
Mimimi Productions developed 3 games, all of them are available on Windows/Linux/macOS, but only their first two are fully available on GOG which were published by Daedalic Entertainment.
Their third game Desperados III didn't and was published by THQ...

So to me, it's clearly the THQ's fault, they're not the "Linux friendly" we might think of.
Again too bad, it's a shame. :sad:

Still no news about the GOG release... :angry:
I already have the game there, as I backed it, but It doesn't feel good about Linux/macOS versions...

Quoting: Alm888

Quoting: CyrilBut now I maybe could pirate games, like this case, who refuse to deliver the Linux version on all stores equally to the Windows (or macOS) users.

Better not to. Even if a pirated game is "free" monetarily, it still will consume your time. And time is the highest price one pays for games (and it is in limited supply). On top of that, playing pirated games with your friends is basically promoting the product without getting paid.

If a developer does not want to support Linux, IMHO, it is better to discard said developer and move on to a project with proper support. It is not that we lack native games nowadays, besides, games are just an entertainment and there are a lot of options when it comes to entertainment (I honestly do not understand some peoples' obsession with "that one game that keeps me from switching to Linux").

I see what you mean... but...

I won't pirate a game "automatically".
I won't play a pirated game with friends.
It's not about Linux support though, I was speaking about Desperados III which have a Linux version, only on Steam.
So I won't have any remorse, from now, to pirate a Linux Steam only game.
I mean I'm a bit angry, maybe I won't do it, but it's very tempting. It seems some companies don't care, so I won't care too.

They loose money if they release a Linux release on GOG?
Fine, they'll loose money because they're not release it on GOG.
Simple as that, only the second is 100% sure.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80

Quoting: Alm888

Quoting: Whitewolfe80I may of missed something is that common knowledge that it was THQ call or was that GOG making the decision not to support a linux version.

Maybe you have [External Link].

Quoting: Whitewolfe80What is the licensing model do gog have to pay a few for each platform they sell a game for ?

I believe GOG does not differentiate between platforms. Thus, porters had no way of knowing the amount of port sells vs. original platform sells.

So as i said nobody knows if thq said no or gog that said no and yes it does make a difference as gog have to provide support for games they do not do a valve with proton ie if it works it works if not oh well. GOG will actually support a linux port they make. So if some had bs middleware that they cannot get working perhaps they decide not to port/support that game

You obviously didn't read the Alm888's post on GOG forum [External Link], and read the screenshots he took on the Discord.
It's not the GOG fault on this one, it's THQ. It's pretty clear to me.

A bit off topic, but I seriously thinking... I pirated games some years ago when I was on Windows, and stopped when I started using Linux. But now I maybe could pirate games, like this case, who refuse to deliver the Linux version on all stores equally to the Windows (or macOS) users.

In the other hand I applause the ones who do it right.
(Like recently Children of Morta, and I hope Blasphemous will too.)
I'm a bit tired of this behaviour and I don't think I'm the only one.
