Quoting: ArehandoroThis looks hilarious! And being so cheap is an insta-buy! Although it isn't in GOG :/

The action-RPG 'Last Epoch' that's currently crowdfunding has a working Linux demo now

Actually I don't think this is a bad model. I mean, I never saw that in any game. Maybe it's not safe for them as people will buy the complete game for only 15$ and not use the microtransactions (the majority of them?).
Plus the debut of the game will be free, it's like a demo, but that's mean you still can play (until the level 20) with friends who bought the complete game. So it's better than a simple demo IMHO.

I tested it yesterday for many hours (thanks to liberodark on the first news), and I must say it was very nice, I really enjoyed it... like if I already knew this game.
I was close to the end (I think) and the game crashed, I lose my save... I will relaunch it!
But yeah like you I have bad performance whit it, but It's not really an issue right now.

For the H&S / A-RPG on Linux it's true we need some! Actually Diablo III tends to boring me (recently) but I love Grim Dawn (It's a pity there isn't native Linux version).

So fingers crossed for Last Epoch! (I'm thinking about backing it)

Edit: I will test the new build (0.4.9.5) and see if it's better...

Liam is in front of an invisible wall. Sad it's broken... Hope the devs will fix that soon, they should have delayed it instead. :S:

Edit: Too late!

I may be trying this during the weekend (if ever get enough time :/)
As far as I know, it's not using Galaxy API. If you want a well working downloader, try this: https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader [External Link]
Looks like nebula is a GUI wrapper of lgogdownloader (is listed as mandatory dependency in the code). My idea is to give my girlfriend another games source, so having a GUI is mandatory in my case.
In fact I tried it and I have it still installed. But I prefer use the .sh files. (And it's the same with the itch.io app)

Quoting: LeopardI can play Skyrim Drm freed. By simply downloading a cracked version.
LOL, Seriously? Ok so "all" the games are DRM-Free, cause yeah you know you can download cracks... :|

:Facepalm:

But i agree this debate is endless, we need to discuss this on the forum. (This discussion and all the sarcasm reminds me of Windows users VS Linux users, think about it...)

There is a wish on GOG : https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/trailblazers [External Link]

But I don't think it will be available there, anyway a vote does cost nothing.

It seems very unlikely, but if we have to stop providing access to GOG services and GOG content permanently (not because of any breach by you), we will try to give you at least sixty (60) days advance notice by posting a note on www.gog.com and sending an email to every registered users – during that time you should be able to download any GOG content you purchased.
So they make clear, that you still will be permitted to use your purchases (backed up naturally).

Also, they point out this:

If you would like us to delete your account please contact our Support Team here. Termination will not affect already existing rights or obligations of us or you.
I.e. you can close GOG account yourself, and still have the right to use your purchases.
Plus :

In the very unlikely situation that we have to stop running GOG.com we'll do our best to give you advance notice, so that you can download and safely store all your DRM-free content.
