Hello Johnnycrank Who’s talking about hate here?
I’m just talking about one mistake, three things to know.
1_ No GOG does not reimburse everything without conditions, there are rules and it is normal, if you read badly, you are responsible and not reimbursed!
2_ Trine 4 will NOT be released on Linux! I followed all this, I wanted this game.
3_ In "Other" the information is not translated!
Information you know if you are not English:
And you’re not English!
I had one last hope when I saw TUX on the "Trine Ultimate Collection" page
My disappointment prompted me to write this message, to avoid a purchase by mistake, for others!

I think you’ve seen "Linux" and you’ve decided on your own about these "hateful comments".
You should read calmly, all that is written is true, and my opinion is expressed without "negative hatred".
_"Frozenbyte is a good developer, Trine 3 deserved success and an end!"
_"Thank you in advance, if you carry Trine 4 on Linux."
_"Not on PC, only for an OS already flooded with platform games."
_"What happened to teamwork?"
Is this HATE? I must also say THANK YOU?

You are greatly mistaken about the Linux community, we are often disappointed, by a lack of consideration.
And sometimes abused by some developers what can sometimes give some "angry" comments but often justified if you look a little!
And we are very often attacked by people like you, yes it can make bitter but not hateful.
There’s also the Trolls, but I don’t think you do, which is why I’m writing to you.

So this comment intended for Linux users, to avoid an impulsive purchase, which will not be refunded!
This is a problem for you who are not concerned!
Why?
Who is making negative and hateful comments here?

No, I don’t hate you, Johnnycrank, I don’t understand you!
Why on seeing Linux, some people are systematically malicious.
Negative votes on comments with Linux in the title, aggressive criticisms without being concerned by the subject!
You are running Windows, you can get all the games that come out.
So why not leave us in peace and express ourselves?

I made a comment to informed about an error: (5 users out of 20 found this comment helpful)
You made a comment about nasty Linux user and: (7 users out of 7 found this comment helpful)
(PS -1 for you in a moment, but without hate just for a little more balance)

What is your problem with Linux users?
Why all the attacks, people like you?
You take advantage of Linux, and you criticize it.
Even Microsoft has been helping to develop the Linux kernel since 2019, yes also to allow them to improve their own system... of course.
I read on a Forum; those who use Linux are poor because it is free, this could be your way of thinking?

I write to you for a sincere, constructive answer, and without hatred if you can.
If you continued to reverse the roles, briefly declare "people on Linux are hateful villains" without further explanation.
I’ll assume you’re just another troll.

Do not see any attack in this message!
Just one question, please!
I would like to know what you thought in writing this comment, which I think is unjustified!
I remind you that we are both players, without DRM on GOG, and all this is possible only thanks to Linux (internet).

Please excuse any translation errors.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

I am a little confused about this forum post.
Is this a response to something provided via private communications?

Concerning Trine I just spotted it and bought Trine 1 - which I was not able to start on Linux.
After fixing the old zlib problem there is am ugly menu (i.e. font of selected entries are way too large) about resolution etc. and when starting it just crashes without any error message. So I marked the install directory as DEAD to later have a closer look.

But I have still not dived into it and of cause did not purchase other Trine titles - while the 3rd one seems to be the weakest concerning gameplay (some don't like the 3d used ...) but should at least be 64 bit - but I have not seen somebody saying it is working under Linux which seems necessary, unfortunately.

Typically after trying to solve an issue on my own I try to contact the developers.
Some are quite responsive and really try to solve any issue (some even do solve them - a big thanks to those developers!) - other just don't answer at all ... they may know well enough about the quality of their game.
But it is really strange that so many games are abandoned and still sold with 32 bit binary.
Some do work like a charm, though - at least as long as 32 bit libs are provided - which may soon end.

So from this point of view I laughed when seeing the Trine series marked as Linux - which it is NOT (at least currently). And if this would be an honest offer, such problems like this concerning Trine 1 should have been fixed. Most 32 bit programs do still work for me ...

On the other site of behavior on GOG some perfectly working SNK titles are not officially supported - so no Tux and a small note about a Linux version in the "Goodies" section - so one might not spot it - but these are working like a charm on Linux and should be advertised on GOG as Linux ports.
Not to mention the games with available OSE which is not used by GOG.

Currently, Linux is not supported properly by a lot of developers, publishers and vendor sites - but at least there are really bright spots.

But I can understand negative feelings towards Linux community. They typically know how the system works and can even program. The most problematic thing is - the want to help other users and even offer to test solutions. So the lack of knowledge can be clearly pointed out ... which is not nice for some people just wanting to make money - not providing what they claimed to sell.
I don't think that they are aware of betraying people if they know a game is not or at least no longer running on supported GNU/Linux distributions (Ubuntu LTS in most cases) and still mark it as available for Linux.

And I would really like to see consequences for those - and not in the direction to shoot the messenger for making aware of problematic situation concerning Linux `support'.
I had been more than 10 years in IT business (Unix specialist) - and I never saw so much wordings about different quality of support and special conditions which have to be met before support is available.
I really think that something should change in that respect.
And I don't think that there are not a lot of gamers on Windows and macOS who suffer from the same problems and being in the same positions - it is just not the topic of this post but may be well understood by many of those using other OSs.

No, The explanation is here: User notes

It's really unfair, all it takes is one person to accuse you of hatred and the downvotes start pouring in.
I simply pointed out a mistake!
At the time of my comment GOG did not refund a purchase so easily, even not downloaded if you did not see that the Linux version did not exist, no refund possible....

JohnnyCrank never responded to this message that he was made aware of, but he has not hesitated to come back and spit on other forums that I have created.
JohnnyCrank is in judgment, he is far from the way of Tao.

JohnnyCrank: Haters are Stupid (Proof see 1* Reviews)

Wow alle the People showing his negative Hate which is not fair i think cause if u are smart = u can read!
For example let me quote something from the System requirements:
"Listed Linux support may not be available for all games in the package. View the individual games for more details." O.O WOW also the other Trine Games before wasnt released at the start with an Linux Installer (the Linux support comes later for the Games)

So Guys give the Dev. Time to make it real cause this OS was not planned at the Begin to be supported. SO if there are any released/working Linux Installer than is that a BONUS that they do for the Fans and not cause they promised too much.

And the last released Trine Game is not a bad Game! So dont be a bunch of unfair Babys who are only too stupid too read before they buy something! (anyway it gives an moneyback guarantee so the hater reviews are a lot more dummy as i thought. If u did a mistake buy than give the Game back and finish or ask for more OS Support but dont rate the Game bad...)

Haters will gonna hate me for this Review too but i dont care cause i didnt developed a Game and hoping for good feedback! Normally im not finish at this point but u all dont deserve any smart words from me so see ya later hater ;*

Ok, now I get the picture ... and really familiar to me, unfortunately.
Yes, I don't feel comfortable to give a Tux-like icon if a good deal does not run here - and this is true
for Trine (1st part), too, which did not run on any of my machines ... and I got a refund.
So I don't know what technically is so wrong that there is not even a reasonable error message.
There are games which GNU/Linux users would prefer to not get released for "Linux".
And unfortunately GOG does not get rid of trash ... they are happy to offer it despite being broken
(at least on some platforms) - maybe with the excuse one can easily get a refund.
On the contrary there are Linux games which are not advertised as such but hidden as free goodies -
and those work fine, of cause.
I hope that GOG will change their attitude soon, as this is not a healthy course at all.
And the gamers here could help them sorting out the bad games quite fast ... they just should take
care of those games were several technical people asked for a refund - or have a look at forum threads.
These are full of problems with workarounds by gamers without changing those games ...

For JohnnyCrank it is obvious to me, that he is a troll, fortunately for all of us, he is not a politician. ;-)

The truth is that some developers like "Frozenbyte" or "Larian" code their games with their feet, Windows users are less aware of the problem, because sometimes more important fixes than the game itself are made for their OS.
But most of all, they have never seen the performance differences between Windows and Linux on a good game.

With GOG's new refund policy, I think it's a good idea to keep all possible Linux versions, a patch or a voluntary modification by an enthusiast can be done one day.

macOS and Linux versions are provided as unsupported bonus content.

Many 32-bit games that will soon be unsupported, for me on Mint this is already the case.

JohnnyCrank comment was just deleted.
A good day almost 3 years later.

A moderator contacted me to thank me for pointing out a correction, and I took the opportunity to send him the link to the hate comment.
