Nice deal. Sadly the first game is windows exclusive and the second is windows and mac exclusive.
Linux users get the short end of the stick again.

I do know that nobody cares. Just wanted to let the gog team know that I care.

Update: I mean the freebies.

I'm not sure what you mean by first and second games.
At the moment there are 749 games on sale (more to come), of which 282 have Linux versions.

You're forgetting free System Shock 2 that was available thru GOG Galaxy that Linux users could not even get as there is no Galaxy for Linux. Not that it would've mattered as SS2 is only available for Win and Mac in the first place. ;-p

Galaxy was not required. Correct url and user agent was, and one could modify those easily.
That would not be helping with the stress test though, so it would be like guy that shows up in a "help clean the beach, then join us for dinner" only to eat the food, not do work.

Microsoft and Apple not tracking you is the reason you switched over though. Games are just a bonus. Can't you run them all in WINE anyway? :P

You don't name the freebies and I'm not sure if everyone gets the same ones, but the first two that it wants to give me both enjoy a platinum rating on winehq appdb. I know it's not the same thing as a fully supported package, but you'll probably get them running in no time if you put your mind to it. For what it's worth, the third thingie is supported on all three platforms.
