I ran a quick search in this community and couldn’t find anything on this topic.

I’m gaming on linux, with a mix of official and alternatively-sourced games. I’ve recently noticed that GOG has an OS: Linux filter and I found some titles that I could like in that list.

I tried the sites listed in the megathread, and I did not find a place where I could get these linux versions.

Has any of you looked for the native linux versions of GOG games [edit: pirated versions] and found a good place for them ?

Clarification edit (some responses helped me realize my post is ambiguous) :

  • I’m not looking for linux-native game lists, I’ve got that already
  • I’m not looking for legitimate platforms on which to buy linux-native games, I’ve got that already
  • Playing games using proton is playing with a compatibility layer, not playing native
  • I’m looking for unofficial ways to acquire linux-native games, and I’m aware these are quite rare for resons well stated in some comments

    Tha’ts actually what I do. But there are some games I’m not sure I’ll enjoy and they don’t have a free demo to test, so I’m trying them on the seas. Also, 10+ yo games that are still 15,20, sometimes 30€ are not going to get my money, even when much cheaper and on sale, because come on.
