To whom does GOG appeal?
There are few reasons for using GOG instead of Steam, unless you like old games or are against DRM.

I'm not entirely sure if pursuing online features is the best thing they could do because they'll probably never be as good as Steam at that.
If they have to give up being DRM-free in order to do that then that may cause them to lose more customers than they can gain.
I hope this makes sense. Unfortunately, this is what you could describe as "adapt"-ing

That's based on the entire argument that using Galaxy for online multiplayer is DRM, which it is not, but your of course free to believe whatever you like. Also as I posted a link before to, a million people are using Galaxy. CD Projekt also released a report a few months back I believe it was saying how the amount of GOG users has nearly doubled or tripled I think it was over the last year.

Their strategy seems to be working...

When do we get access to the DLCs for those that preordered?

This has nothing to do with market shares. If GOG didn't officially support Mac and Linux I'd say ok perfectly understandable. But in the case as it is, they are and GOG has already been supporting Linux for almost a year. If this was the case of an old game from before Linux support came in I understand, but here we're talking about a game released yesterday.

The issue here is that GOG haven't given a reason why. This trend has been going on for a while and I'm not the only one to notice it.

I had contacted the support for Dungeons 2 which also has a native version. The answer was very clear: They are working on it but can't give a timeline. So regarding this game it could also be the same answer. But having in mind that the multiplayer-component is bound on Galaxy gives a preview on possible things to come in the near future. And therefore I'd say that we should keep an eye on that. Perhabs this platform will be no longer really DRM-free or is giving up that principle. Why no Linux-version on day one? Soma did this and more games also. Even "Victor Vran" is now available for Linux.

Or you know, maybe we could try to do something about it.

I can't download the game. Only the soundtrack. Whats wrong here?

Yeah whine some more and I'm sure GOG will stop developing Galaxy all together any day now.

Do I need it no. But sure as hell more convenient than trying to keep up with GOG's crappy update notifications and all that. Also when GOG adds the install scripts for the games that need them as they have stated they will do, so that Galaxy installed games can be re-installed without Galaxy, this will truly make any arguments against Galaxy being DRM weak at best. The only argument opponents of Galaxy will have at that point is the online multiplayer, which technically if we go by the most common definitions of DRM doesn't even fall in the category of DRM.

On Linux I would care even less though, as compared to Windows, Linux does not have a registry or anything like that to worry about so I can just zip it up the installed game via Galaxy and move it to any Linux computer and just play it as long as the dependencies are installed.

Just for me personally Galaxy just makes it all more convenient, and I like Galaxy a lot compared to Steam because I know exactly what I'm getting, were as on Steam quite few of there games have third party DRM in addition to the Steam DRM and all that. Personally I'm okay with Steam DRM, I rather have zero but I could have lived with it. It was the third party DRM that drove me away from Steam.

What's GOG got to do with it? Do you really think that because GOG says that they're supporting Linux and Mac OS that suddenly all the Linux and Mac OS versions will suddenly appear here?

If GOG could just snap their fingers and make stuff happen then their movies section would have every Fox, Universal and MGM film ever made already.

It doesn't work like that.

Guess there's no point in explaining this to you, closing the discussion here. Yep you're totally right.

Thanks, this works now :)

I like nonsense arguments like yours: This is the reason why some things are much more worse on our lovely blue planet today. But hey: Write some more like this. Seems reasonable to decline relationships of facts and live in a shiny filter bubble. You just ignore that every customer has a ballot paper when buying something from somebody.

Oh the default "I have no problem with [INSERT]"-argument. Interesting that for now we get the same here, do we? An optional client made the other way around getting more relevant. Funny here seeing that everytime arguments appear trying to bend facts into shape so they fit into the nice picture. So we compare serial-numbers and some more things, which are not comparable to a server-client-principle, and turn them on the community as a reproach. I'm outta this discussion. Will be interesting to see where we get when you people go further with the wish on more features. When to stop? If GOG is like Steam? Where is then the difference? Or do you even want this difference? You perhabs know the answers or not.
