Quoting: skinnyrafIs Mad Max on Linux DRM protected though?
If not for DRM, why can't they release it on GOG then?

That's quite a mess of a name. Looks like a clone from Windows version without simplifying it.

That took quite a while, but good to see it on GOG at last.

If a game ported isn't already on GOG, then you should already know the answer dude. It won't be up to Feral to get it approved onto other stores.
Sure, I'm being only half sarcastic here. WB Interactive who own Mad Max started releasing their games on GOG already, so why not this one as well?

I don't think that is up to Feral. I'd love a DRM free copy of Mad max. if it ever happens I will buy another copy happily.
Yes it is. They can do that... They have the publishing rights of the Linux version... We talked a lot about that topic. :|
They can't. They aren't owners. It's all decided by WB Interactive.

Anyway, it's another title I'll skip. May be WB will wake up in 5 years from now.

Why aren't recent Serious Sam games on GOG yet?

I don't think they need to use SteamOS for desktop demo. KDE is just fine for that purpose.

Looking forward to it. And great to see that it's coming out on GOG. Paradox own games have some issues with Steam lock-in. I suppose Obsidian managed to convince Paradox to avoid it.

Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition removed from stores in favour of the new Anniversary World Tour, no Linux support

I have 3D Atomic edition on GOG. And it's indeed gone now from the store for those who don't have it. Why can't Gearbox play nice and keep it in stores? Devolver should have kept the rights. They are way better owners than Gearbox.

Valve looking to contract experienced Mesa developers to work on the open source AMD driver for OpenVR

Except actual OpenVR isn't open (i.e. SteamVR). I've just red some news that Collabora are actually working on open replacement for SteamVR.
