Recently, GOG added the Windows version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown to their store and since it has a Linux version on Steam, I reached out to the porter to see about their plans for the Linux version.
We've seen a lot of speculation in the past, with people wondering if Feral Interactive will ever get their Linux ports onto a store other than Steam. Here's their official stance, which they sent me this morning:
We don't have any plans to distribute our games through GoG. If this changes, we'll make announcements through our usual channels.
We can speculate all we like as to why they're not doing it, even if the decision does strike me as a little odd. Hopefully they will reevaluate this stance in future, considering it's not exactly a new game and the Linux port from 2014 isn't exactly new either.
A shame for everyone who prefers their games on GOG.
Quoting: scaineI'm a wee bit confused by "bring out the big guns". Do you mean Liam restating the "no personal attacks" just there? (...) Hopefully this is a misunderstanding of Liam's intent - not to berate you specifically on your last comment, but to be clearer about why he was unhappy with the original comments.If your guess is right and that's what Liam really meant, I didn't get what he was trying to say. :(
At the time, the words seemed out of proportion with the directly preceding comment I made; unfair. Forums and comments should be a balance of order and chaos, or they aren't as interesting. ;)
Joking aside, if that's what Liam was meaning scaine, it makes sense and isn't unfair.
