Good for the Mac.
However i hope it doesnt stop Gog from offering classic games if they are only available for Windows (and either wont work on Mac or unavailable for it)

Considering Macs can use Bootcamp or some ancient PC to extract DOS games and then move the files to their Mac DOSBox build, I don't think this is that big a deal. It's less of a hassle, of course, but it wasn't a huge issue - neither is Linux really. If you're going to use Linux, an OS that is fiddly to work with, then having to use WINE to extract GOG files and downloading your own DOSBox seems childsplay.

Of course, not going to protest this move - just saying, people who say "finally" or "why not Linux" should know it's just a bit of saved time.

Same thought here... I see no harm in it as long as Mac support is not a deciding factor in what to sell.

Oh yeah, this too for sure.

Thanks GOG - I was especially pleased that the games I already bought are now available for both platforms. As some already said, DOSBox worked before but I really appreciate the effort and the Multi-Platform support out-of-the-box (so to speak).

Finally, some words of wisdom :). I think you've nailed the point very well here.

1. for tech-savvy people, playing dos/windows on Mac or Linux using dosbox/wine is piece of cake
2. linux crowd consists mostly of such tech-savvy power users. I'd even take an educated guess that majority of them are dual-booters with win & linux.
3. mac users - as a general crowd - are NOT as tech-savvy as linux folks... sure, there are many mac power users there, but the average user buys the mac not to fiddle with dosbox config files or wine engines. these folks are actually used to one-click experience, considering as OSX is getting more and more looking like iOS (feeling simplified)

From that perspective, supporting Mac seems to me like a very obvious choice.

I got used to waiting with my old amiga back in the 90's. Clearly the PC has always commanded a huge part of the market. One thing to be opptimistic about is if the game sucks on the PC, Mac users won't have to suffer through another p.o.s. game 8).

Your link to Ultima series is connected to Ultima 7, and I can't see Mac support info on that page. Do you have a plan to release Mac version of Ultima 7? or is this link just a mistake?

Thank you, GOG! One less hassle with dual-booting/fiddling with config files. One less reason to see Windows, too. :)

Thank you very much GOG for Mac support!!! I tested few officially supported "mac" games and all are working out of the box - except The Witcher 1 - it won't even start on my iMac with updated ML 10.8.2 (update - actually problem is only with my localized polish version and gatekeeper - as it is named as Wiedźmin and not The Witcher - all is needed is to open it in terminal first by: open -a /Applications/The\ Witcher.app/ and allow to open it... )

p.s. for whining linux users: I'm also linux user - but I can't see anything complicated to run GOG games on linux from user point of view - just have to install playonlinux and install game from there, or dosbox (or scummvm), then unpack gog installer in wine and run the game with gog-tweaked dosbox.conf... I don't expect it would be much more easier, when linux is officially supported. Problem of linux is, that every version of every distribution is using different versions of libraries and programs, everything on very different hardware. So it is quite complicated to test all that combinations - and best way is to let linux user to do it by himself - this is just price of freedom;) Mac has only few versions of supported hardware and OS, and as you can see above - even thoroughly tested - main game here - Witcher - is not working in my case:D But yes, I also want native linux versions (that already available elsewhere) to be added here at least as bonus content!
Don't worry - 4 new games from 6 added yesterday are windows only...

You could read it that way and if that was the case, it would also be fine. But then the reason for having one is "support", not "everyone has one". At least here, it doesn't go any deeper than that. Sounds like you have a more technically competent circle of friends than I do! Quite jealous :P What is stopping me? Distribution rights to the files and access to a system that would allow me to determine who brought what. However, I am working on GOG packages for Linux (Arch Linux to start with). For all games (that I have). Not only that, there will be supported ones (ones that tested and worked fine, which would be in AUR) and unsupported ones (ones that tested and I couldn't get working) which would be available through the Git repo. Besides, it's not like they have made all their games Mac-supported so I don't know why you are making arguments that sound like you think I'm asking for all GOG games to work on Linux. Just emulated (DOSbox, ScummVM) and developer-native would be great. Even if they were just put in as "extras" and unsupported. And that wouldn't be much work.

EDIT: If GOG actually would give me access to their system, I'd absolutely love to make a "little sister" site providing the files, launchers etc. for other platforms.

So, the good thing is that when you buy a game here you get Mac and Windows versions together? That's nice.

Isn't that industry standard?

No, that's only because GOG always treats their gamers fair. Being nice is actually part of their DNA! Guillaume said so, so it must be true.

Actually, no. It depends on the game. CHeck GamersGate, there are lots of games which offer the Windows and Mac version in one bundle, and lots of games which offer them separately for each platform (I think the Paradox games are a good example)-
