Seems to me this is mostly for users of Intel video. Which would be big for laptop users.

Since Witcher 3 is in active development I think that really ups the chances its a native port. Its one thing to use a wrapper like eOn or wine for a game that is a few years old and another to use it for a AAA new release.

OpenGL is not consistent because the drivers are not consistent. Fix the driver issues and you fix most of the problems with OpenGL.

Quoting: Anonymous

Quoting: liamdaweAnd yes, we need our money counted for Linux and not Windows. This is a good stepping stone to show developers and publishers there is money in Linux.

To what end?

What does it matter?

Think about it for a sec.

If I'm a developer, and I make a Windows game, let's call it Cool Shooter, and you buy it and play it in Wine. I got your money. I don't give a shit what platform you run it on, I care that I got your money. OK, so you bought it through GoG as a "Linux" game. I can now see that some Linux gamers gave me their money even though I didn't bother with Linux.

The time comes to make the sequel. Cool Shooter 2, let's say. I code it with DirectX for Windows because Linux users bought it last time with zero effort on my part.

And what happens? They buy it again.

The only incentive for a developer to support Linux is MONEY. id had the warm fuzzies for a while, but even they abandoned us. So, keep buying Windows games and running them with Wine. It really doesn't matter to devs if you use Wine, so long as they don't have to make any efforts and you keep opening your wallets.

"Oh, but the devs will probably do native after seeing Linux dollars roll in."

No, they won't. There is NO REASON TO. You buy the Windows versions anyhow. They get the money either way.

A huge chunk of the games on gog are 10, 15, even 20 years old. The source may very well be gone for the original developer.

I agree with Ryan. It is not Drm in and of itself but many games treat it as such.

That being said even if it were DRM it is the only example I can think of that has consumer advantages over a completely DRM free product. Look at library sharing, steam play, and steam cloud.

The best that can be said of other DRM is that it doesn't get in the way.

I really hope this helps convince Gearbox to port Borderlands.
