GOG.com Will Begin Offering Linux Games

It's probably just the dosbox stuff, but hey, baby steps

This is after they said in september last year to me it would be too hard:

They claimed too many distro's made it difficult and they would only do it if they supported them all, now they come out saying "we support Ubuntu & Mint!".

THE Witcher 3?

Pls. Pls. Pls.

(Not only would be AAA title but also from Poland )

Also Valve seam to have little to no influence over older titles. If GOG.com can push for classics (and same prices...) ....... Tasty.

PS Do GOG.com have analog to steamplay?

[Kostas]

So.. is it going to be just the Dosbox stuff or will they attempt wine wrappers?
What about library linking? I assume it's going to be static?
