I literally cannot find a page with actual links to the games? Im not cross-referencing a damn porn bundle.

I believe the giveaway was only for 48 hours so it might be over

Hey, it included Postal 2 as well! (But also guilty, and not ashamed to admit it.)

I wouldn’t want to meet a person who wanks to Postal 2, though playing is fine.

Sure mate, whatever, I’m lying, your way out there misinterpretations of the points I’m making and misreading of what I wrote are actually genial argumentative “gotchas” and the product of a superior mind and your relentless batting for Steam and against all other games stores isn’t at all mindless fanboyism.

Keep up the good work, maybe they’ll give you a discount!

Curiously I actually have an example of a GOG game - Project Zomboid - where the Linux version won’t work on my distro (latest Pop!OS) because of missing libraries whilst the Windows version works perfectly under Wine straight out of the box when installed via Lutris, which is pretty silly.

As others pointed out, many times the Linux installers are also several versions behind the Windows ones.

When it comes to Linux, the one and only benefit of GOG is that due to their no-DRM policy and downloadable installers you have maximum freedom to do things like sandbox games to your heart’s content and do thinks like run them with networking disabled - which you can’t do from Steam - and older AAA games from around the 90s and 00s which often had nasty DRM, when they are available in GOG come stripped from the DRM and are thus more likely to actually work under Wine, whilst that’s not reliably the case in Steam (I have an older game from EA in Steam which won’t at all run under Linux from Steam no matter what you do, but a pirate version runs just fine - so I suspect it’s the DRM, which was pretty nasty already in the 00s when the game came out - though since there aren’t installer scripts for pirated games in Lutris, I had to learn the whole process of detecting missing DLLs and configuring them in Wine myself to get it running).

Mind you, it was a massive surprise when I moved my gaming rig to Linux about a year ago, that nowadays most games just work out of the box, both Steam games from the Steam app on Proton and GOG games using Lutris with Wine, given that my previous try at gaming in Linux about 5 years ago was a massive exercise in frustration which I quickly gave up on and that Linux instance just sat there for years in dual boot configuration but never actually used.

So you’re one of the 10

If I’m misinterpreting something, feel free to clarify. Your relentless batting for GOG and against all other games stores isn’t at all mindless fanboyism.

I want to buy more but I can’t seem to find any games I actually wanna play or don’t already own on Steam. This campaign did remind me that they exist and that I should try to support them more, so I think it was a net positive for me!

In the sense that reading Mein Kampf is fine sure

It’s when you start agreeing with it that the problem starts

I guess masturbating to it would be a sign of enthusiastic agreement, yes.

We are… Also, free stuff.

I’ve never had a single problem running a gog game with lutris.

GOG is a distributor and storefront. They aren’t a developer, so it’s not up to them to develop Linux versions of the games they sell.

No one suggested they should.

But actually, they do develop games as well (CDPR).

Or, that they’ve got a skill issue

Hey, free games is free games.

everyone here is one of the 10 and is coping if they say otherwise
