Pertinent response to my support request:
So there is indeed a certain amount of jumping the gun going on here.
Quoting: Kenneth YeastAh, that's it then. We haven't updated the 32 bit client yet, only the 64 bit. It's coming shortly.

The file included in the archive does just seem to be an auto-downloader that pulls the latest version, which would of course explain the fact they have the same checksum.
Considering that not even the latest Desurium would launch properly for me before, I seriously doubt I am running the older version.

You do realize that under my country's insane copyright laws bypassing this could be considered just as illegal as pirating the content itself?
That alone makes this a very serious issue that GOG is going to have back away from.

Quoting: neffoThis all seems like a confected outrage. This isn't DRM. And by all accounts it's a trivial matter to bypass ... it just seems like a bizarre change, yes, but the response is completely overblown (like every linux gaming issue).

I submitted both Mark of the Ninja and Bastion, since those are probably the two games I got the most enjoyment out of this year.

Many Linux distributions also unfortunately do not supply them by default, as is evident by the guide linked to in the article.
Binaries are not that hard to ship and make portable on Linux either. Still, I would agree that for a beta release the effort involved is really not needed.

Quoting: strel0ckbinaries are easily portable on those systems due to there not being a bunch of distros that put libraries in different places.

Anyway, if any Arch users wants to try it out they can simplify it with this:

QuoteYou'll have to build the game from source because this is a beta release. Alternatively, you can download pre-built binaries for Windows and Mac.
