The engine excuse is indeed a bit thin, when Daedalic released Linux versions of their Visionaire games, and the company behind the engine promised a Linux version of their own (Kickstarter-funded) game.

Looks neat, but the price seems a little high for such a short game.

Quoting: g000hMeanwhile I grabbed the previous August Monthly Bundle and got...
The Escapists 2 (early unlock)
Kona (didn't have it already)
Sudden Strike 4 (didn't have it already)

I was meaning to pause August and forgot / thought I had more time, but wasn't disappointed when Sudden Strike 4 and Kona were included. But already having Rise of the Tomb Raider, I'm definitely going to have to remember to pause September.

Quoting: x_wingThe game really use almost all the resources of the original game

Does Unity make it easy to extract resources or something?

Quoting: x_wingThe story it's kinda "meh", but the devs made a really nice work with graphics and sound.

I enjoyed it, except for the voices used for Sam & Max.

The upward trend for AMD on both CPU and GPU is interesting to see. Also, looks like I'll need a RAM upgrade soon. :-p

Added the ability to import Windows icons for games with no Linux icons; will only take effect after reinstalling the game and recreating the desktop and launcher shortcuts

Nice, but why do you have to reinstall? :-(

Fixed a problem where the screensaver would always be disabled if Steam was running

This fix came just in time; I thought something else was busted!

Quoting: Alm888Even MojoSetup was not developed by them but by Ryan C. Gordon AKA "Icculus"

Sure, but there's still effort to package up software using it.

Quoting: Alm888Needless to say, they are pathetic even at this. Constantly they delay Linux versions of games for inexplicable reasons (when reached, developers usually say they mailed Linux version to GOG long ago but have not got any response since then) or sometimes even allow developers to outright skip Linux updates (hello, "Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun", "Sudden Strike 4" and "This War of Mine"! ).

It would be great if they did more / faster, etc. sure. But at least they do some QA instead of throwing up broken stuff, which happens a lot on Steam.

Quoting: Alm888Over the years GOG employees have said multiple times GOG has very limited resources ant their top brass thinks these resources should be spent elsewhere

Good or bad, that is how businesses operate. Would you prefer that they "stop pretending" and just give up on supporting Linux altogether? I wouldn't.

Quoting: Alm888The real "slap in the face" to all Linux users is the "In Progress" plaque on the wishlist entry for Galaxy on Linux sitting there for (how many? three?) years when we all know (and have been told so) it is not in the works.

No disagreement with you on that.

Quoting: Alm888But most importantly, this news has absolutely nothing to do with Linux! At all!

Just speaking for myself, but I found it much more interesting than the "x available in Snap package!" stories.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80valve seem to of backed off the linux investment laying off their man linux developer and coder early last year and not replacing him still concerns me.

To whom do you refer? Pretty sure plagman is still there?

Quoting: Alm888With its "zero-effort" policy towards us we are lucky if a game actually gets Linux version

That hardly seems fair, considering they go to the effort of packaging games with MojoSetup. I can say that a small level of animosity towards GOG is justified, as they declined to support Linux at all multiple times before finally doing so, well after Valve did so with Steam. And of course there is the GOG Galaxy issue. But "zero-effort" is a bit of a slap in the face to the guy who is slaving away over there, testing and packaging on and for Linux.
