Good, that should answer the hype that MS are trying to create with their lock-in.

Just bought the game - it's great and I like the classic textures look more :) Hopefully full campaign will be great too!

GOG version works very well.

Brutal action shooter 'RUINER' might finally arrive on Linux in April

Quoting: LeopardThey must support it officially and from what i've seen they decided to not do it due to AMD related issues.

They said that new release of Unreal Engine fixed them and they switched to it. Also, those issues were fixed with Mesa update itself even for the older UE release. So that can't be the current reason.

Quoting: LeopardIt will never be official and because of that it will never release on GOG.

Didn't they say they fixed all the bugs already? So why can't they make it official?

Sounds good.

While we are on the topic of delayed releases, what's going on with Everspace? They were supposed to be "almost ready" several months ago, but GOG still doesn't sell Linux version.

Ion Maiden, a new 3D Realms FPS has launched in Early Access with Linux support

Quoting: kneekooI mentioned our old computers, and most of them are 32-bit.

I guess their goal was not to run the game on vintage computers, but to provide old look'n'feel for modern ones.

Quoting: kneekooIs 64-bit really required for a 256-color palette retro game?

Why would you want to mess with 32-bit binaries on 64-bit systems? No one is using 32-bit Linux anymore.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoHow the GOG's link work?

Same idea as most ads use. You click on it, GOG registers the click and pays to the publisher site (in this case GOL) some rate for certain amount of clicks. I suppose they track unique visitors per certain period.
