A new story awaits, injected seamlessly into the base experience for you to start on your playthrough - or jump into without restarting. Fear not though, because it's a long and self-contained story with a satisfying ending, you won't feel like you're missing out if Part 1 is all that you play.

As far as I know, these expansions (I don't like the term DLC - it's some execs coined obsolete idea - everything can be downloaded these days) don't require you to start a new game. If you didn't reach certain point in your playthrough, you'll just get more of the story and places in the game. But I didn't check all the details yet.

Quoting: wolfyrionI dont understand this, why they revive DOS Games?I dont really get it , the same goes with Steam....
You think the new generation will play any of these retro games?? I dont think so..
Why paying for these games?

Why not? Good games remain good, despite older technology used in them. Do you watch old films, or read old books? Classics remain classics, and same goes for (good) old games.

I got a non-reply reply:

Thank you for submitting your recent request to Codemasters Customer Services concerning Dirt Showdown.

Unfortunately we cannot confirm any plans, at the moment, to release Dirt Showdown on GOG.com

I'll skip this one.

Any chance it's coming to GOG too? I'll try contacting the company behind the game (Codemasters).

Quoting: NelYou're just mixing up financing and investment.

Did you hear the phrase "investing in a better future"? Investment is not limited to goals of profit.

The return of your investment is creating of the project.

Quoting: Mountain ManFor instance, do you really think Larian Studios would be dragging their feet on the Linux version if their backers could hold their feet to the fire?

They offered refunds already for those who couldn't wait for the Linux release. They aren't frauds, but they weren't professional enough in managing this release. This should teach them, so next one will be managed better.

Quoting: tuubiTL;DR: Linux gamers should not pre-order, kickstart, pay to be allowed to beta-test (EA) or in any other way support projects or developers if/when it's not certain that this actually benefits Linux as a gaming platform and thus themselves as Linux gamers. Don't trust a developer until they have shown their ability and will to deliver. It's too early for us to take anything as a given.

I agree with that, and it has nothing to do with Linux specifically, it's a general issue. You can rephrase what you said in simpler terms - don't invest if you don't trust those who manage the project. Assessing the trust and risks, that's the hard part. I personally trust Larian enough to back them. Same as let's say inXile, Obsidian and some other studios.

Quoting: liamdaweErm, no. An investment is "the action or process of investing money for profit."

That's just one example of investment. You can invest for other reasons (not profit but something else).
