What engine does it use? I wonder if you can run it with Vulkan renderer.

Will buying all update convert it to definitive edition on GOG? I'd need to ping Obsidian about it.

There's a whole list dedicated to that it seems :

Well, it's here on the wiki too: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/GOG_Games_Missing_Linux_Ports

That's just demagoguery already.

Quoting: jensI think you are missing my point. I guess this comes due to different long term interests between you and me.

They are different, but not very different. I also support Linux developers and don't buy Windows only games from developers who can release it for Linux, but don't do it. However I include DRM-free consideration in this choice, while you don't.

Quoting: jensI assume here that you agree that only increased market share will make Linux grow. But because you bought it as a Window game the sell strengthens the Windows platform and weakens Linux.

In this case it doesn't help, since Aspyr have some kind of issue with GOG. I.e. Aspyr know perfectly well they are losing sales, but that didn't in any way help them release it on GOG as we can see. So for me Aspyr are out of the picture altogether, I'm buying the game made by Obsidian, not by Aspyr. And it's an old game which Obsidian aren't going to port to Linux. It's same reason I don't mind buying older Windows only games on GOG. Developers moved on long ago.

So your comparison is invalid. You are buying DRMed games from developers / publishers who have the choice to release them DRM-free. And doing so you are supporting their bad behavior with your money.

Quoting: jensI'll rephrase: Would you prefer to buy the DRM-free Windows version of a game or the Steam version of its Linux version? I think this is the case with Observer and may be Everspace.

If there is a Linux version on Steam and not on GOG, while the game is available on GOG, I normally wouldn't buy it at all. I think the only exception is KoTOR II, which is a rather old game. In case of Everspace and Observer, I'm waiting for Linux versions to come out DRM-free.

Quoting: jensBut you do know that it is kind of hypocrite if you are advocating Linux everywhere but would buy lets say Tomb Raider 2013 for Windows when there is a Linux port?

I wouldn't buy Tomb Raider 2013 at all. It's not available DRM-free.

Quoting: jensThat is a rather evasive response to my question. :)

Point is, I don't see Aspyr or Feral putting any effort into going outside of Steam lock-in.
