Quoting: TheBardGOG surely have a lot of potential but as of today, linux and multi-player users on GOG are second-zone citizens.Blame developers for missing Linux versions on GOG, especially ones like AOW III. They literally said they don't want to bother updating another version, so it's them who treat GOG users as second class citizens.

Do they have stats for Steam Machines sales too? Would be interesting to see how they are doing. Though I don't expect any major spikes until Vulkan will take hold.

Also, not sure why they didn't include it, but if you have Witcher 1 or Witcher 2 on Steam, you can get them on GOG any time using this page:

Quoting: wvstolzingAlso, there's Witcher 1, but no Witcher 2 or 3? That's a bit odd.See above for the Witcher 2. TW3 is odd, yes.

I think people should stop paying attention to this survey. It's not representative of the whole picture even for Steam itself.

Quoting: coryrj19951Anyone else notice that this is the GOG version wrapped in WINE (second time I seen this done :P ). Completely DRM free and can be ran with the .SH script without steam open.Why can't they release it on GOG then?

Why would they need Steam runtime for Wine though? If the game is playable in Wine, just get the GOG version and run it.

If it's not needed for most games, then it's better to leave it as an optional fix.

@Lightkey: I wouldn't call it fine if it needs precision with small controls. I'd say it's some stretch if usability is concerned. I'm OK with them doing what they want, but you can't claim it has good ergonomics for UI that has tiny elements in it.
