Yep, got it as part of GOG winter sale too. Another option was Wasteland 3 backer reward, but I already got it from GOG before.

Besides, a lot of games are already out of production cycle (i.e. older games), so Wine is the best way to play them on Linux if you want to avoid Windows.

Good! Though it's another 32-bit release.

Quoting: scaineAlso strange that Blades of the Shogun is on there, but the demo isn't?? Just seems arbitrary sometimes.

Yeah, this one is especially strange. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the demo. No response so far.

Now we just need full open source Vulkan support for AMD to catch up, and it will be great.

Hm. Another one of those weird "no Linux version on GOG" cases? What's wrong with it this time? I start suspecting it's some incorrect reliance on Steam that's causing it.

It doesn't matter which releases get Vulkan support now and which not. Pay attention at engines, not at releases. All major engines are getting Vulkan support. That's what matters. Once most engines will get it, releases will naturally follow.

Quoting: pbBut I have a question. I will probably buy Shadow Tactics from a retail store, as it comes with some collectibles. Since it's an in-house multi-platform release, the money will go the right way, but will they know to count it as a Linux purchase? How does it "work" when companies release multi-platform - do they count "Linux sales" (as reported by stores) or "Linux players" (on Steam) / "Linux downloads" (on GOG) to know the numbers?

When companies release mutliplatform, there is no relevance for "Linux sales", since sale goes on all versions at once. They can count Linux downloads however, assuming you are downloading the version that you intend to use. But if you buy a retail version, I suppose it's either for specific OS, and you bought that OS disk, or if it's for all platforms on that disk - they won't have any way of knowing what OS you bought it for.

I noticed that Talos Principle is missing on GOG, and then I found this thread [External Link]. Quite disappointing that developers fell into the trap of Steamworks lock-in.

Looking back on game ports that did actually arrive...

You didn't mention The Dwarves. It's easily my favorite game of 2016. Though I didn't play Tyranny yet, since I'm waiting for some major game breaking bugs to be fixed there first. But since it most likely won't happen in 2016, it won't get the title for me ;)

The biggest letdown was Witcher 3. CDPR basically silently walked away from all their promises and plans. I don't expect much from them now in regards to Cyberpunk 2077. They are drifting towards legacy publishers' mentality view on Linux gaming.
