Quoting: Alm888And my obligatory (so no one could say I am biased towards GOG and against Steam) "And what it has to do with Gaming on Linux?".

Seriously though, I think it is kinda dumb. Instead of improving its own quality GOG thinks it is OK to piss on others.
They preaching about DRM-free while at the same time forcing Galaxy towards everyone's throats.

Well, to present you a very relevant example (and I'm surprised Liam hasn't mentioned it in his examples of how harmful DRM can be), it's impossible to use Proton/Wine on games with anti-tamper DRM technology like Denuvo, unless the publisher does the work themselves, which they rarely do. So it affects gaming on Linux by preventing the use of emulators and compatibility layers on games that don't have a native version. There have been multiple instances of games where Denuvo was the biggest obstacle to making a Wine script, DOOM for instance worked perfectly in alpha before Denuvo was added, and worked perfectly after it was removed.

Also, DRM-freedom generally aligns with the free open source ideals of Linux, so people who care enough about freedom to use Linux will tend to care enough about DRMs to not want them on their games.

Finally, Galaxy might be heavily marketed by GOG, but they don't force it down our throats. They would have trouble doing so anyways, as Galaxy isn't even available on Linux, and they always offer a Galaxy-free version of their games on Windows. It's a game client, not a DRM, it is and will always stay entirely optional, and that's the point.

It's a real shame, but you can hopefully still change that with a very simple way.

If you have a GOG account, please vote on this community wishlist [External Link]. If it get enough votes to be on the top they might reconsider that. It is in no way a guarantee, but it is worth at least trying.

It's finally available on GOG! They sure took their time, but it's here now for everyone who was waiting for it.

I went through the whole game yesterday, and the GOG version has worked perfectly fine for me. Might be luck on my end and not a Steam specific bug though.

That bug is not new, but it usually hits games in windowed mode. A lot of Unity games crash my Cinnamon desktop when I try to drag the window around. I guess it only hits rescalable windows though. Games that are affected include Kerbal Space Program, Infinifactory and SlimeRancher.
