Steam and Humble Bundle, mostly. I don't much care for DRM-free, but will get a DRM-free version when I have a choice, so Humble Bundle's good.

Desura is a good alternative IMHO.

If Desura had GOG's insistence on DRM free, offered the same goodies and services and had all of GOG's games.... then GOG really wouldn't have any reason to exist at all.

I agree with Fenixp. At this point it's already about staying competitive or falling behind. No more technical excuses make any sense. Technical problems exist to be solved, not to complain about them forever. If GOG want Linux support - they'll come up with it. If not - bye bye GOG, because Humble Buncle already practically caught up and will soon overcome GOG offerings.

Seriously, who cares?
GoG decided that Linux doesn't fit their interests, that's absolutely fine.
Valve, as a much bigger company with more coders and support staff than GoG will ever have decided that they'll simply do it.

In addition there's the Humble Bundle for those who don't like DRM and Desura might be worth a look, too.
So, while I thought at first that GoG would've been really nice to see on Linux, I don't care anymore as there's so much great competition now.

Thanks to Valve.

Oh and thanks to nVidia, Intel and AMD who're actually now VERY dedicated to supporting Linux.

For the DRM-free loving Linux gamers like me, there is also "Indie Royal", although most of their games are a bit crappy, it has been quite a surprise, that they currently have a bundle with Stronghold HD (not Linux though).
I am displeased with the fact, that HumbleBundle and IndieRoyale sometimes have Steam only stuff now though.
At least they label the DRM-free titles clearly by now.

On a somewhat related note, Trine is currently 0.99$ on the Humble Store, and yes, it's free of DRM.

There are 62 pages of who cares in this thread alone.

It's not about not having any alternatives. It's about looking at GOG lagging and having an ardent desire for them to catch up so they can be the ideal solution to the problem.

First of all, I once cared, too. But you shouldn't forget that SteamOS was launched AFTERWARDS. So I definitely wonder if still so many people care.

And GoG probably will act, when they see that Valve IS successfull, because GoG doesn't want to take the risk, it seems. Nothing you, others or me said in this thread has changed their stance, so I guess it's really just a waste of time, they don't want to support it and it's their right to make that decision.
We, as customers, finally DO have alternatives and we should use them, because waiting for GoG to catch up doesn't help the others who went ahead and want to test if the Linux community really would be a viable target group.

If there is one thing in this world that will cause a company to change their stance on something, it's unhappy customers. And people here ARE using those alternatives already. Nobody said people weren't using said options. Just clearly pointing it out to GOG that we are in fact using those options, that these are sales they could have had, sales we wanted them to have, but ultimately sales we can not justify giving them.

If a company like GOG wants to know if an audience is a viable target, then that target audience needs to be actively communicating what it wants, how big it is, and what the implications are when company ABC does, or does not do XYZ.

People keep acting like we should shut up, or just be patient, or quit wasting breath talking to a wall, but the second the community goes silent then everyone is totally justified in ignoring us, because at that point, as far as they know, we don't exist.

Even if we talk, people might still say: "they're just a vocal minority" and to be honest, they're absolutely right. I remember so many dicussions on the internet where people said "we represent the majority" and when it came to buying software/games, etc... sales were lacking.
My point is simple: Winners act.

In this case: we should show through hard facts that Linux is a viable option, aka we buy stuff. Money is THE lingua franca on this world, it's understood everywhere. And I believe that Linux users are quite generous, atleast if the Humble Bundle is any indication.

And no, I don't want you to shut up, I don't have the right to say that to anyone. I was just stating why *I* believe that we should act, rather than just keep speaking for the next 300 years.
In the end we can talk AND act, sure, but I fear that many people are only into talking (not referring to you).

Oh yeah, if only they would do it consequently. At least in the Humble Store they don’t as the example of Anomaly 2 shows very clearly. Indicating a game as DRM free just because one version out of four is DRM free is pretty misleading. Seems to me like the Humble guys use the DRM-free argument for (false) advertisement. No one would call flying a save way of travel if four out of five planes always crash.

But yeah, back to the topic, I agree with what others have said already: there are meanwhile so many alternatives that I really don’t care anymore that GOG.com isn’t offering any games for Linux as well.

Yes, it's always fun to see, that the Linux users ALWAYS pay the most out of their own free will in HBs statistics which can be seen by everyone.
It's a minority worth noticing.

Linux Game Sales Statistics From Multiple Developers. Considering how much less market share Linux has compared to Mac OS, Linux sure is keeping up!

The thing though is that some games here have a Linux version that the developers have made, and GOG already uses the DOS version whenever possible. Between those,it's not really comprehensible as to why they can't at least make those games available for Linux.

The amount of coding they would have to do is relatively minimal.

I think the real hang up here is that they don't want to formally acknowledge that Linux users are buying games here and not being supported. Linux users are used to that. I don't see any reason why the DOSBox games are going to work any less well on Linux than on Windows.

I respect that GOG doesn't want to sell people things they aren't supporting, but by the same token, they do need some sort of first step into the Linux world. And I think that folks here would accept that as progress. Without selling games for Linux it's really hard to say how large the market is.
