Battle Chasers: Nightwar has silently removed mentions of Linux support a few hours before release (updated)
3 Oct 2017 at 2:32 pm UTC

GOG release article should mention that if they are honest. Often they let it slide silently, which I don't like at all.

I think people should stop paying attention to Steam survey. Its usefulness is close to zero.

RUINER still may not come to Linux, encountering technical issues

I think they mean they didn't expect that problem. And I'm glad they'll focus on Linux first, before macOS. "Not talking about it" isn't smart though, since they won't get any help from the community. They need to learn from Everspace.

Tooth and Tail updated with GOG & Steam compatible multiplayer

Quoting: hatniXIt would be nice, if someone from GOG would say something about the status of Galaxy for Linux. Because is seems this is not the only game that misses the Linux version on GOG for that reason.

I guessed you missed what they already said about it.

Quoting: Apopas
Quoting: ShmerlWhere do they sell the DRM-free version?
In their site.

Ah, I see it, thanks. It's actually Humble Bundle widget. But it's indeed Windows only, weirdly.

Game developer 'Atlus' issues a DMCA takedown against open source PS3 emulator

How is it even applicable with DMCA? Emulation and reverse engineering is legal. No one should be nice to bullies who abuse the law and issue illegal takedowns.

Quoting: ApopasLook pretty fun. Unfortunately, the drm free version seems to exist only for window$ :-(

Where do they sell the DRM-free version?

Atari are launching a new gaming system, the 'Ataribox' and it runs Linux

Nice. We need more push for preinstalled Linux. I just hope they'll make UI open, unlike SteamOS.

Linux version of 'The Coma: Recut' removed at release after taking pre-orders

Quoting: GloWThey do refund though ? right ? right ?

GOG indeed can refund this. But it's clearly developers' fault, and GOG should have informed users about it as well. And as Liam said - don't pre-order. This lesson should have been learned many times over already.
