GOG: 1 million claimed the Freedom to Buy Games bundle in 24 hours
-
And maybe ten of them will actually play any of the games.
Oh yeah I saw the list and am pretty sure I’m not even installing any of them, but claiming the bundle in solidarity

I didn’t see the option, but also Huney Pop and others don’t work on Linux.
Can confirm it works fine with wine / proton
-
Can you just add them as nonsteam games?
Where do you install them to? -

You’re doing gods work, GOG. No wait, scratch that.

I couldn’t pass their capcha so I guess I’m a robot.
Self-awareness is the first step to sentience.

Same, tried three different browsers. I HOPE YOU’RE ALRIGHT, FELLOW “HUMAN”.

I also got like 10 capchas for 1 of the codes (just one after the other) then it threw an error anyway. I appreciate their gesture, but so far it’s been like 30 minutes of wasted time with nothing to show for it.

I’m one. I played one of the ones I didn’t already have yesterday.
How did it go?

Did the same. Not sure, just by looking at the icon/thumbnail, that any of it was made for me. But am still proud to have them added to my account!

I love this from GOG. I already liked them because of their game conservation efforts, but now I like them even more.
They support free games. If only they supported free platforms to play them on…

Apparently some of them are very good in their own right, telling a compelling and interesting story and not just being horny cash-grabs so I’m tempted to give them a shot.
I played the original Yu-No because of how it is the foundation upon which all modern visual novel games are built. That was a difficult experience and I do not recommend it to anyone not already very interested in the history of the genre, there is a lot of content there that is not for me.
But that was the game that made the industry say “oh shit, these things can be good, too”.Side-note: the modern rerelease of Yu-No has the more objectionable stuff stripped out, but then we’ve got to have the censorship discussion all over again.
Anyway. My point is this: I have also overlooked these games but might have to rethink that.

HTH does work on Linux.

It means they have zero Linux support.

I think they’re saying GOG doesn’t support Linux?

I cant get by their 2fa. It sends the code like 4 hours later which by then the code times out.

If only GOG was this militant when it involved Taiwanese developers (Red Candle Game devs), I would still be using their platform. They haven’t even allowed Nine Sols on it, so I haven’t bothered going back yet or have even recommended them to the degree I usually did over Steam.
It’s not even that they had to censor themselves, it’s their woeful attempt at an excuse. It’s funny whom they kneel before and whom the are activists against. Were it a China “Many Gamers” matter, do not expect them to have been as willing…

Not sure what this means, I’m playing mine on Linux just fine.

You being able to play it on linux is not the same thing as having Linux support. They don’t even have a first-party launcher. Probably half the games I buy on GOG don’t even launch, even after adding them to Steam. Meanwhile Steam works literally 100% of the time, in my experience.
