Ah I hate that kind of moment, but I love it too when I see the community cloning everything everywhere.
Fuckers.

The original ADOM (2015) is on GOG, I hope this will be there too, here what the dev tell about it:

Quoteno promises here, but we will have a look into this.

Quoting: CyrilActually there is one thing I don't really understand...
You "Steam guys" are happy that us "GOG guys" are unhappy or what?
It seems that so many times you are happy to have a Linux version only on Steam and the others can fuck themselves.
I don't know any GOG user (Linux or not) who is unhappy that a game is also available on Steam, it makes no sense.

GOG types have a tendency to badmouth Steam. And while most Steam types would also prefer less or no DRM, they feel GOG types tend to unfairly discount the basic fact that Valve has done about 10 times as much for Linux gaming as anyone else, probably even after accounting for relative size, while GOG has done . . . um . . . have they done anything at all? Well, they don't outlaw Linux builds on their store. Um, hurray?

Personally I badmouth Steam, yes I admit, even if recently I tend to not, but not Steam users. It's an important difference for me. As long as Steam users are fine with the store/platform, it's fine for me too.
I buy games on GOG, Linux or not, because I like to have my setup files etc, we know the reasons.
I think for the majority of Steam users, GOG is bad because Galaxy isn't on Linux... But you know what, it's not an issue for me, at all. It seems some people don't understand that, or can't bear it.
And yes, Valve have a lot more money than GOG. GOG have even changed some of their global "strategies" recently because of that, so it does have a pretty impact and it's for the Windows users too...

But you see, this is exactly what I pointed, we fight each other...
Steam drop/will drop support for Linux of SteamVR and recommend Windows 10, is it good?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAnd so on the other hand, GOG won't be all nagware-ish if you try to play offline. That's a good thing, don't get me wrong, but not such an incredibly big-picture thing as to make me have massive love for GOG. Not enough of a good thing to make me majorly upset if some game studio decide not to put things on their store for reasons they have not seen fit to share with me. And weighing in the scales versus what Valve have done for Linux, not enough of a good thing to leave me patient with people badmouthing Valve and minimizing their contribution.

You're confusing things here. There is no relation about what Valve or GOG do for the Linux gaming community, and what devs/publishers do for it.
The topic here is more about the second. As I said above, I wouldn't care about EGS not releasing some Linux versions, because it's not possible there, so it's EGS's fault rather than the dev/publisher one.
Here I talk about a dev/publisher who explicitly decide to not bothering to release.
Part of the problem is that some devs/publishers just see GOG releases/users a way to make a little more money easily but without support (no Linux/macOS versions, no updates etc)...

It's not normal, it's not a thing we should defend, Linux or Windows players, because it creates monopolies, it makes some companies stronger etc... in the end it's never good for users/players/consumers.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm certainly not actually in favour of things not being released on GOG. But even if I could wave a magic wand and make it so that all games would be (also) put on some store that wasn't Steam . . . that store would be Itch.io, not GOG.

Yeah of course, but we're not here yet. And I'm very happy when some devs publish their games on itch.io but it's even more marginal than on GOG.

Does the Linux community really need this?

Sorry but about Steam and Linux support, I read this recently, what do you think?:

Quoting: IggiThis is Deep Silver as the publisher. I wouldn't expect them to support anything besides Steam...

They're also the publisher of Wasteland 3 and yet the Linux/macOS versions are on GOG...

The Linux versions for the Saint Rows games and the first 2 Metro games are still missing from GOG.

Yeah I know, it's a pity. But just to say Deep Silver itself isn't the cause. But yeah I'm afraid it will ending like the "Desperados III case".
And if that's the case for Metro Exodus too, seriously... too bad they choose the "wrong" publisher but I won't buy the game.
It's just not right, don't sell your game on a store if you just don't want to support all versions.
It's normal to lack the Linux version on EGS, but not on GOG, there is no excuse.

And you see not a word about GOG release... For the macOS version they mention explicitly some stores, but for Linux it's just Steam... Tell me I'm wrong...

A day-one Linux release with even DRM-Free. Very nice move (I will buy it some day, of course).
