I want to thank all of you too. You're a great bunch ;)

Currently no, but GOG plans to implement Linux support for about 100 games somewhere on Autumn.

OK, thanks for the information. It's very good that they intend to support Linux, but until then I'll have to control myself and refrain from buying games which have Linux ports... hopefully my waiting will help convince them :)

Where is that damned Defender's Quest? Only game to be twice on sale so far and it's taking its time to stay that way. Most games have been on sale 4–6 times. If it goes on in next 10 hours while I'm offline, I'll go and... and... and I'll buy first DRM game I'll come upon to boycott GOG! That will teach them! Eat that, GOG!

(I don't really need the game, but to wait for the last game I'm thinking about to buy and it's the only one to appear the least times, that is really so not cool.)

Nice to know, thanks! (although i long abandoned linux desktop) together with galaxy it's going to be a great fall!!

Now where is that elusive KB:Crossworlds?! If it goes on sale the 4th time im asleep, i'm going to kick gog's rng...

Regarding the rounds, not all games appear with the same frequency. Some are very common (like Summoner), while others are very rare like Defender's Quest.

As for Faith in Destiny, we're still waiting.

ty for the info. ^_^

Is someone still tracking the frequency?

RWarehall does his best.

That big 0 sitting by banished is very depressing :(

thanks

Yes you will. GOG is adding Linux platform to the store sometime this fall. You'll have to wait until then to be able to download the Linux version of the game (or possibly longer if they don't have it ready at launch), but it should most likely be made available sometime before the end of the year. Keep in mind though that GOG doesn't have the source code for most of the games nor port them to other platforms, they mostly either track down the already existing ports and get the rights to them as well and package them up, or in many cases with games they package them up with DOSBox/ScummVM to work on any platform in theory. When Linux platform arrives in the fall I am guessing that they will also use Wine to make some games available in Linux or even other technologies.

If a game does have existing Linux binaries available out there though then the chances are high that GOG will be able to get a hold of the rights to them and add them to the catalogue when they go live with Linux platform.

So, I think it is a fairly safe play to buy games here which have Linux support out there already either natively or via a shim of some kind in anticipation for GOG Linux platform support along with a little patience for it to get here and for a given game to become available. Within 6 months to a year after they launch I would imagine every game that could run on Linux will probably be rockin n rollin here. :) We can hope anyway. :)
