Better not to. Even if a pirated game is "free" monetarily, it still will consume your time. And time is the highest price one pays for games (and it is in limited supply). On top of that, playing pirated games with your friends is basically promoting the product without getting paid.

If a developer does not want to support Linux, IMHO, it is better to discard said developer and move on to a project with proper support. It is not that we lack native games nowadays, besides, games are just an entertainment and there are a lot of options when it comes to entertainment (I honestly do not understand some peoples' obsession with "that one game that keeps me from switching to Linux").

I see what you mean... but...

I won't pirate a game "automatically".
I won't play a pirated game with friends.
It's not about Linux support though, I was speaking about Desperados III which have a Linux version, only on Steam.
So I won't have any remorse, from now, to pirate a Linux Steam only game.
I mean I'm a bit angry, maybe I won't do it, but it's very tempting. It seems some companies don't care, so I won't care too.

They loose money if they release a Linux release on GOG?
Fine, they'll loose money because they're not release it on GOG.
Simple as that, only the second is 100% sure.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80I may of missed something is that common knowledge that it was THQ call or was that GOG making the decision not to support a linux version.

Maybe you have.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80What is the licensing model do gog have to pay a few for each platform they sell a game for ?

I believe GOG does not differentiate between platforms. Thus, porters had no way of knowing the amount of port sells vs. original platform sells.

So as i said nobody knows if thq said no or gog that said no and yes it does make a difference as gog have to provide support for games they do not do a valve with proton ie if it works it works if not oh well. GOG will actually support a linux port they make. So if some had bs middleware that they cannot get working perhaps they decide not to port/support that game

You obviously didn't read the Alm888's post on GOG forum, and read the screenshots he took on the Discord.
It's not the GOG fault on this one, it's THQ. It's pretty clear to me.

A bit off topic, but I seriously thinking... I pirated games some years ago when I was on Windows, and stopped when I started using Linux. But now I maybe could pirate games, like this case, who refuse to deliver the Linux version on all stores equally to the Windows (or macOS) users.

In the other hand I applause the ones who do it right.
(Like recently Children of Morta, and I hope Blasphemous will too.)
I'm a bit tired of this behaviour and I don't think I'm the only one.

The Game Kitchen, I hope you don't plan to do it like THQ Nordic... Aka "No Desperados III on Linux/macOS for GOG".

Sorry, it's a bit funny to see you having a lot of issues. Like some other said, when using/testing a new distro, it depends on how you using it too, your hardware etc.

I don't use Google's DNS nor an USB ethernet.
-> So, no issue for me.

My monitor is a 1080p one.
-> So, no issue for me with the installer nor the full encryption disk CLI.

About Dropbox, I don't use it, but in the AUR you can unfortunately have that sort of issue, it's not often a big one though, but since it's maintained by the users and not officially it can happen. But in my experience, a lot of AUR packages works OOTB, sometimes a little fix is needed but that's all.

About the issue you have after the decryption disk, it's seems weird though.
On my side, I also have the "opened slot0" too, but my computer doesn't restart, it just loads the system normally.

Good luck for your testing though!

Quoting: 14

Quoting: CyrilIs there any chance that it will be available DRM-Free, like on GOG, like some other recent Paradox games?

From what I've noticed, Paradox waits until their games are a little aged before releasing on GOG... not ancient, but no longer hot and fresh. Kinda sucks, but fair enough.

Yeah but Imperator: Rome was a day-one release on GOG too, if I'm not mistaken.
But I can wait a delay for the GOG release, I can deal with it.
