  • It’s better that GOG does it, then nobody does it. GOG probably offered to do it for them, which would be the only reason Capcom bothered, but at least you’re supporting more DRM-Free games coming in the future by buying it. Not telling you what to spend your money on though, of course.

    I’ve also noticed a handful of publishers finally releasing GOG wishlisted games ever since GOG started marketing the new GOG Dreamlist that’s replacing the old wishlist. So in my opinion, if you buy games that were heavily wishlisted like this after they’re finally added, you’re financially telling publishers that the number of wish upvotes they see in the Dreamlist, actually does meaningfully represent how many people want to buy the game on GOG.




  • I don’t know who said that but that is not at all how DRM works. If the developer does not explicitly release a Linux port of the game, it will not run natively. After all, the offline installer files for Windows games on GOG (when you aren’t using a launcher) are .exe files, which will only work on Linux using the WINE compatibility layer, which automatically makes it not native.

    Also, have a look at this screenshot from the actual GOG store page if you’re still not sure:

    It only shows a Windows icon, this is how you know what platforms it runs natively on. If there were a Linux port, there would be a Tux penguin icon to the right of the Windows icon. For example:
