Star Wars: X-Wing series unfortunately won't be available for Linux either

Did anyone try these releases in Wine already?

Quoting: BaggypantsThe irony of GOG having a givaway promoting a linux compatible client but not having AvP for linux when the source code is available on Github.

Feel free to comment to them about it here: http://www.gog.com/news/ask_us_anything_on_twitch [External Link]
I'm not familiar with that game. Was the engine open sourced?

An important piece of news is that they are going to document the Galaxy protocol and they are supportive of community alternative open clients. See in the video at 49:40: http://www.gog.com/news/ask_us_anything_on_twitch [External Link]

Such stats should be authorized by the user. Sending them without consent is pretty bad.

Quoting: ImantsI never saw DRM-free as selling point.

And a lot of Linux users see it as a selling point and never buy games with DRM or use DRMed services. And GOG is targeted for such users.

Quoting: GuestI don’t agree that competition is good or needed, but yes I do agree that monopolies are bad.

Competition to Steam is needed double fold, because they tend to promote lock-in, and many developers fall prey to this when they make Steamworks mandatory to run their games (not for the DRM sake, but for example because they use some network features from it). Lock-in is very bad, and the only way to reduce it is stronger competition.

It's a pity that some hatefull trolls caused Liam to quit. I guess it's not easy to ignore their ilk. I discovered GOL relatively recently and appreciate all the good work that GOL did to cover developments surrounding the Linux gaming. I hope those who value it will help keep it going with more contributed articles.

Something to look forward to.

Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't know about it before. I'd be wary of buying a beta for such types of games though, since it's very story driven. Too many spoilers!
