GOG.com Soon On More Platforms

Good news!


No, don't duck. This is actually good news. We just wanted to announce that, after much deliberation, we've decided that one of the next steps for us is to support Linux. Now, we're not ready to launch Linux games on GOG.com just yet. We've only been working on bringing these Linux games to our service for a few months, and there's lots more to go, but we wanted to let you know what's going to be coming this fall to a digital distributor near you.

We're initially going to be launching our Linux support on GOG.com with the full GOG.com treatment for Ubuntu and Mint. That means that right now, we're hammering away at testing games on a variety of configurations, training up our teams on Linux-speak, and generally getting geared up for a big kick-off in the fall with at least 100 Linux games ready for you to play. This is, of course, going to include games that we sell which already have Linux clients, but we'll also be bringing Linux gamers a variety of classics that are, for the first time, officially supported and maintained by a storefront like ours.

This is, as we mentioned, something that we're in the early stages of, so we can't talk about what games will be a part of our GOG.com on Linux gaming launch--in part because we, ourselves, don't know what those games are--but we hope that you're excited about the fact that we're able to set "GOG.com Support for Linux" in our community wishlist as a task that is "In Progress." We know we are!

muy buena noticia

Estas noticias me alegran el día! Me encanta linux, en este momento tengo dual boot con mint 16 y windows 7. Me encantaría poder deshacerme de windows de una buena vez, lo único que me ata son los benditos juegos, que si bien muchos andan con wine, no todos, y por lo general pierdes algún fps, y en una pc como la mía se sienten

Si, igual no se si los van a hacer para que corran nativamente posta, o los van a poner usando una capa de abstracción, todo automático para que ande con un click, y ahí seguiría habiendo esa diferencia de performance, igual no es tanta, y menos en juegos viejos que es lo que mas tiene, en Steam ya es otro tema :P

Por ejemplo los juegos MS-DOS vienen con el DosBox pre-configurado (en GoG y Steam), por lo tanto los está emulando, no lo re-hicieron en realidad, sería mucho trabajo.

También está el proyecto ToGL que supuestamente podría transformar juegos Direct3D en OpenGL, y ahí podrían correr nativamente en teoría porque esa API puede correr en Linux sin problema.

Cualquier método que implementen es una gran idea de todos modos.

GOG lanza los 50 primeros juegos con soporte para linux del sitio, empezando a dar soporte a Ubuntu 14.04 y Mint 17

A while ago, we've announced our plans to add Linux support as one of the features of our digital platform, with 100 games on the launch day sometime this fall. We've put much time and effort into this project and now we've found ourselves with over 50 titles, classic and new, prepared for distribution, site infrastructure ready, support team trained and standing by, and absolutely no reason to wait until October or November. We're still aiming to have at least 100 Linux games in the coming months, but we've decided not to delay the launch just for the sake of having a nice-looking number to show off to the press. It's not about them, after all, it's about you. So, one of the most popular site feature requests on our community wishlist is granted today: Linux support has officially arrived on GOG.com!

The first 50+ titles we've have in store for you come from all the corners of our DRM-Free catalog. Note that we've got many classic titles coming officially to Linux for the very first time, thanks to the custom builds prepared by our dedicated team of penguin tamers. That's over twenty fan-favorite GOG.com classics, likeFlatOut&Flatout 2, , Darklands, or Realms of the Haunting we've personally ushered one by one into the welcoming embrace of Linux gamers. That's already quite a nice chunk of our back-catalog, and you can expect more from our dedicated Linux team soon!

Now, for the recent titles. We've got some indie games with native Linux versions that finally find their well-deserved spot in our store. Among them, debuting on Linux, CLARC - a well received original comedic Sci-Fi puzzler. On top of that, be on the lookout for two new additions to the GOG.com catalog: Gods Will Be Watching (coming in a couple of hours) and Unrest:Special Edition (Linux build coming right up!), both of them very fresh and intriguing. This is the very first time we can provide you with all the PC versions of a premiere game, and we will continue to do so in the future. If there's a Linux version of a title we're releasing, our aim is to deliver it to you Day-1. But enough about us, let's talk about the games. Here's what you can be playing on Linux today:

OK, but how will Linux support actually work on GOG.com" - you might ask. For both native Linux versions, as well as special builds prepared by our team, GOG.com will provide distro-independent tar.gz archives and support convenient DEB installers for the two most popular Linux distributions: Ubuntu and Mint, in their current and future LTS editions. Helpful and responsive customer support has always been an important part of the GOG.com gaming experience. We wouldn't have it any other way when it comes to Linux, and starting today our helpdesk offers support for our official Linux releases on Ubuntu and Mint systems.

¿que problema hay @Dreadjaws ? por que no aportas algo constructivo o comentas sobre eso y no desvirtúas.

[streetbmx]

Por ejemplo los juegos MS-DOS vienen con el DosBox pre-configurado (en GoG y Steam), por lo tanto los está emulando, no lo re-hicieron en realidad, sería mucho trabajo.

Es que el DOSBOX al ser multiplataforma justamente para los juegos viejos es así, ya todo preparado de antemano. Y después tienen varios nativos también obvio.

Por más que no uso linux está bueno que salgan estas cosas y sobretodo quiero que GOG crezca un poquito más y le pueda hacer un poco de fuerza a steam porque tampoco está bueno que sea taaaan grande una sola tienda.

La vi y no pude evitarla :3

Es que por el copy paste (aparentemente quedo el formato de donde lo sacaste) no se lee nada el texto a menos que se seleccione todo.

Ahora en rendimiento como andamos? Linux sigue muy pero muy abajo en cuanto a gaming gracias al magnífico soporte para drivers que tiene en tarjetas de video, (especialmente de NVIDIA) no debe ser "negocio" para uno jugar.

Yo tengo la versión blanca del foro y ni cuenta me di, ahora lo arreglo xD
si era eso perdón @Dreadjaws, la próxima especifica que pasa con el texto o algo por que se puede mal interpretar.
