Quoting: Alm888Even MojoSetup was not developed by them but by Ryan C. Gordon AKA "Icculus"

Sure, but there's still effort to package up software using it.

Quoting: Alm888Needless to say, they are pathetic even at this. Constantly they delay Linux versions of games for inexplicable reasons (when reached, developers usually say they mailed Linux version to GOG long ago but have not got any response since then) or sometimes even allow developers to outright skip Linux updates (hello, "Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun", "Sudden Strike 4" and "This War of Mine"! ).

It would be great if they did more / faster, etc. sure. But at least they do some QA instead of throwing up broken stuff, which happens a lot on Steam.

Quoting: Alm888Over the years GOG employees have said multiple times GOG has very limited resources ant their top brass thinks these resources should be spent elsewhere

Good or bad, that is how businesses operate. Would you prefer that they "stop pretending" and just give up on supporting Linux altogether? I wouldn't.

Quoting: Alm888The real "slap in the face" to all Linux users is the "In Progress" plaque on the wishlist entry for Galaxy on Linux sitting there for (how many? three?) years when we all know (and have been told so) it is not in the works.

No disagreement with you on that.

Quoting: Alm888But most importantly, this news has absolutely nothing to do with Linux! At all!

Just speaking for myself, but I found it much more interesting than the "x available in Snap package!" stories.

Quoting: Alm888With its "zero-effort" policy towards us we are lucky if a game actually gets Linux version

That hardly seems fair, considering they go to the effort of packaging games with MojoSetup. I can say that a small level of animosity towards GOG is justified, as they declined to support Linux at all multiple times before finally doing so, well after Valve did so with Steam. And of course there is the GOG Galaxy issue. But "zero-effort" is a bit of a slap in the face to the guy who is slaving away over there, testing and packaging on and for Linux.

For the low price of *free*, adventure gamers should check out this nicely done fan-made sequel:

It's "only" the prologue, but it's 2-4 hours of fun if you aren't rushing through.

Quoting: cc2600I just read in the latest patch notes that redshell was removed from the windows version

Apparently a rash of negative reviews is an effective clue-hammer. :-p

Regarding the cross-platform multi-player, I got the impression it did in fact require changes in the Windows build as well; fortunately, Firaxis seems to take patches/feedback from Aspyr, rather than just handing off the code and completely washing their hands of it.

Quoting: liamdaweThey did also get $15K from a Kickstarter as well.

Having backed it on Kickstarter, I was not at all disappointed. I thought it was a very nicely done game.
