GOG are going all mysterious on us, with their Twitter account simply popping out a big teaser image for December 1st. Time to get our thinking hats on.
They sent this out without any kind of explanation:
What do you all think it is?
It could possibly be a new well known game being liberated from DRM, which they often tease out like this. This is most likely, since the image looks like it has some sort of claw (possibly a dragon).
It could also be some sort of christmas countdown event with games getting highlighted each day. This is easily possible and I believe (if memory serves me) that they have done something like that before.
It may even be the big "1.0" release of GOG Galaxy, which would be interesting as we might then finally get news of when it's actually coming to Linux.
Exciting, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high for it being Linux-related. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: elbuglioneDear Liam:
I really don't understand why you insist to make GOG and CDPR notes...
they don't respect us like a real customer. just ingnore them.
The games that do come to GOG for Linux are usually top notch. Installers run great and very few issues from me. I've bought Linux games from Humble Store and Itch that were more work to get going. While GOG doesn't do as much as they could for Linux the work they do is of good quality.

Indeed. GOG.com could do more for Linux, but so could Steam, or basically any other distributor. Most of the complaints come down to Galaxy not being on Linux, when it is not even out of Beta on Windows yet, and sour grapes over The Witcher III, which really is beside the point.

The NWN port was at the time and still consists of a few unsupported binaries that were made to use the data from a Windows copy of the game. It was never commercially released and Bioware has not put out a single game with Linux support in the decade and a half since.
I do not see how GOG.com would be expected to change that.
