There are n distributions. That's too many; the market is splintered. Let's start a new one. There are n+1 distributions.

Quoting: Nateman1000Microsoft trusting an important project to none other than WINE?!?!?

On the other hand he makes it very clear that it is outdated and everyone should switch to their modern fork. So yeah…

You have to accept your children as they are, even if they are different. :wink:

You can view the manifest lists on gogdb. Games that use the crack (officially called wrapper) have both a SteamAPI.dll (or GhostAPI.dll or similar) and a Galaxy64.dll. There are a huge number of thread on GOG about it. Even developers using it as an excuse for missing Linux version, e.g. on the Dome Keeper sub-forum.

Quoting: ReyoldIs there a reason this seems to keep happening?

Yes, most releases are just the Steam version with GOG's Steam crack applied – that's what GOG recommends instead of a proper DRM-free release.. That crack has no Linux version.

I'm not happy that the Linux version is not on GOG, again.

Quoting: KlaasIt's a shame that The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind aren't discounted before they will be delisted at the beginning of next month.

Good news. GOG has managed to get the publisher to agree to a final 80% discount. It seems that they previously were only discounted by 75%.

Too late. I've got both Darkside Detective games about two years (?) ago.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeThat sucks, I have the first one but not ties that bind

I'm one of those that only realized they were sold on GOG when the news of the end came…

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeIs there a good place to check when to know if a games about to be demister? I had no idea until I saw your post

Sometimes there is a stickied warning thread on GOG, sometimes they only post it on their semi-secret discord, and sometimes there is an announcement after the fact.

Kult's collection thread on GOG catalog removals [External Link] or Games At Risk of Being Removed from GOG's Catalog - Tracking Thread [External Link] can help. The first thread might be too late depending on GOG and the second thread has a lot of guesses.
