Regarding the game Anno 1404 Gold Edition:

Why? Oh WHY? I cannot play one of my favorite games under Ubuntu/Wine with the latest version I just downloaded? Because GOG changed it so it runs ONLY under GOG GALAXY that does NOT exist under Linux !!!

I have been a long time loyal supporter of GOG with almost 300 games in my library, and one thing I always preferred over Steam, was the fact that I did not have to be always online and use another application to launch and play my games ... I am very disappointed by the turn of policy from GOG.

Please GOG, reverse that unfortunate situation so I can play my games again!

No it is not mandatory. Check the attached picture on how to download the offline installer.. Probably you are downloading the installer that has galaxy 2.0.
Also the game only has a windows version not a linux..Even if the launcher existed for linux the game would still not run unless you run it with Wine.
