Valheim is just an incredible experience you need to play

Quoting: CyrilYeah I'm afraid that a GOG release won't happen too (as for Linux it would be a shame to have it single player only IMO). But maybe the game will come back on itch.io and that would be awesome!

The game was already on itch.io and developer pulled it from there.

Quoting: LeopardProbably it won't happen, for Linux. As GOG games usually depends on GOG client for multiplayer

It's really up to developers how to implement multiplayer. No one is forcing them to use GOG client for it. They can roll out their own servers through whatever cloud provider they want for example instead of being tied to Steam.

Waiting for their GOG release, which should happen after their success, no doubt. Or should it?

Windows 'not an emulator' compatibility tool Wine 6.4 out now
14 Mar 2021 at 3:57 pm UTC

Quoting: Purple Library GuyMaybe, but I'm pretty sure the people who named Wine would beg to differ on that. I think the position would be something along the lines of, an emulator for Windows would be something that basically reproduced the Windows API-whatever in userspace and had Windows programs run in it, whereas what Wine was doing was just translating the Windows program's requests so Linux would understand them.

Or you could apply duck typing here. I.e. if it behaves like Windows, it emulates Windows. How exactly it does it underneath is really not very important for the program for which Wine acts as Windows environment (thus emulating Windows).
