Linux and Mac versions are up on Steam... I waited all day yesterday, refreshing the GOG page. Anyone know when it's coming here?

I... I'm sorry, but words fail me when I try to communicate what I just learned in my own words. I'll leave a quote and the links here: ( Source: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_unannounced_addition_of_linux_and_macos_versions_thread/post74 )

What the hell...? I guess I'll message the devs and try to get a clear answer because this doesn't make any sense.
Oh. I only just read the link properly. What the fuck am I supposed to do with that? I don't have or want a steam account.

it's both annoying and insulting.
way to go aspyr if your goal was to alienate and lose customers (even if just a small percent of)...

I'm fine with buying games on Steam, but I won't pay more than $5 for a game with DRM. I guess I'll have to wait until it's more heavily discounted.

I don't think that's really the point here, or at least, it's not the major point. The Windows version is available on Steam **and** GOG (DRM-free, no online activation, no required download client). Why wouldn't the Linux (or OS X) version launch on GOG as well?

On the one hand, they're a private company, so they can do as they seem fit with their product, but from a money making perspective, why would you choose to limit your potential sales? My spidey senses are tingling now....

In any case, I'll await the GOG Linux version...would've paid the 28$CDN for it too Aspyr! :P

I'm waiting for the linux version too, but I won't buy the windows version even if it works under wine.
I want to encourage companies that do native linux ports and I think that the only mean to do it is to buy a game only if it's been released natively. (For the same reason I'm not buying Ruiner, that I was waiting since the announcement, until the linux version is out)

"It's the only language these savages understand: Money!" ;)

Apparently, an Aspyr developer does say that the linux version is planned for release on GOG:

Made my day ! I see it's on the GOG site now for Windows, will the Linux version be heading to GOG as well ?

Thats the plan :)

Let's hope it's chocked full of goodies when/if it arrives!

I certainly admire No Tux, No Bux but gaming is something important to me so I use Wine, if it's the only option. Having said that, I am holding out to see if the Linux version makes its way here.

I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but the developer in question (Aspyr-Blair) said in August "Thats the plan", while another official spokesperson from Aspyr Media told the journalist comrad from holarse-linuxgaming.de on the 24th of October that a Linux release on GOG wasn't going to happen.
From my perspective it simply seems like their plans have changed... That being said, I hope I'm wrong and this is just some form of misunderstanding.

I agree. I just meant that I would prefer a GOG linux release. Otherwise, I won't be paying full price for it.

great!
and thanks for announcement.

now i wonder if that "no linux version on gog" message on holarse was a hoax?
better communication on aspyr side could have saved some swearing...
