That guy is just an horrible person imho... For me it just shows/proves that being a highly technically capable person doesn't mean being a good person, absolutely not. It's awful to see what happened to this project, it's pretty sad.
And his comment in the commit:

# Refuse to build in Arch package environments. My license does not allow for packages, and I'm sick of
# dealing with people complaining about things broken by packagers. This is why we can't have nice things.

My god... facepalm

As for the license, DrMcCoy have already demonstrated in the precedent news how bad (stupid) it was.
I don't see this move as any better.

@AsciiWolf They already provides Flatpak but they don't recommend it but recommend AppImage instead.

I love Terminator 2 so I obviously want to play this game, it looks cool but it's just a trailer we'll see if the gameplay is good enough. Cool for the Native Linux support, hope to see it outside of Steam.

A bit off topic, but not fully either...

Every time a "GOG doing X" or "Steam doing Y" news comes up, the comments section is like this, people writing and reading the same over and over...
Guys don't you ever get bored? And I'm saying that for the two sides really, how is that interesting to anyone repeating those arguments? I don't think anybody get convinced here to one side or another (or really rarely).
Sometimes it feels a bit like reading bots unfortunately. I'm pretty sure Liam is bored too (I think he said that in the past).

I personally stopped making arguments on this topic, because I don't think I can add anything relevant that's not have been said anymore and I don't expect people to change their stance (especially this hot one, I mean).
I'm saying that without hostility because I like GOL, I'm sure we can do better but I really don't know how. Maybe some of you will think about it. It's like a message in a bottle.

Now on this donations thing, if it can help GOG from people who can afford it then it's good.
But yeah it might be an alarming sign to the GOG's health, I don't know, but I don't think it can do any damage as long as it remains optional. It's too early to say.

@silverhikari Maybe it's unrelated, but reading this on the Gthub page isn't reassuring:

Note: this is experimental. None of the developers are using Linux as a desktop OS, so you're pretty much on your own if you encounter any problems with running the application.

I can confirm these updates are also available on GOG for Myst Masterpiece Edition and Riven!

@fenglengshun On my side I didn't have to wait for email code, because my ISP provides me static IP address.

Off topic but: it's always fascinating to see the two sides of the Linux community.

The ones who are here because: it's just works™ and don't mind proprietary stuff etc.
And the ones who are here mainly because of political/societal reasons: Free software etc.

You can say "I'm here because of both", but in the end I always see people tend to one or the other...

"Let's hope they will finally add the native Linux version to GOG now."

I hope too, but I'm not very confident when I read this:

https://www.gog.com/forum/drive_rally/drive_rally_changelog/post9 [External Link]

"GoG had issues with updating our product page on time. At the moment Linux version is delisted from GOG because of GoG Galaxy launcher combability issues. Sorry for the inconvenience."
