This needs to be pinned.

Sadly I can only vote once. Well and I don't want to use fake accounts to raise votes. But there are other Linux related things to vote on, I'll check that.

We will see, hopefully you are correct. But the things that TheEnigmaticT in the thread about Linux support in their forums is not making me optimistic

Yes, sadly I think the same way.

GOG, being an online computer game retailer that firmly believes in selling games without Digital Rights Management (DRM) and without regional pricing (1€ ≠ 1$), among other things, would in my opinion make a great addition to gaming on Linux

The fact could even be worse that one could initially imagine.
If Steam remains the unique digital distribuion store, it will affect other gaming developments that otherwise would be released DRM Free.

I mean, for example, games been ported by Icculus. You buy the Windows version, and then you download the installer at the Icculus repository. A DRM free executable.
But if developers bypass that option and choose Steam, then no DRM free version avaliable for us.

Until now Linux have had few avaliable titles, we know. But Steam and his dominant market position, colud make impossible Linux gaming outside it. And this also means impossible DRM Free Linux gaming.

Don't like Steam.

Don't 99% of their games already run on linux via dosbox? All they'd have to do is release them in their original format instead of a bundled dosbox version, ta-daa
