GOG previously said they planned to look closer at Linux, and that it was the next major frontier - and they're now working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux.

    That’s exactly what I’ve been asking for. I like the gog model of no DRM, but being able to play on my OS of choice is more important to me, so I usually buy from steam. I know most gog games can run on Linux with manual setup, but most of the time I’m in the mood for gaming I don’t want to troubleshoot, I most likely did that all day at work already. The game is the unwind from all that. When this lands I will use it to buy a new game from them, if not just for testing purposes.

    Cool, I’ll look at it just as soon as the evidence they aren’t anti-trans Nazis comes in.

    The only thing I want from GoG for Linux is a game download in 1 file instead of many. I spent an hour today trying to install the DLC for Yakuza Like a Dragon and it just would not detect the game installation.

    Ended up downloading the whole thing from Fitgirl instead because it’s better service.
