Still waiting for Linux support.

Aren't Linux gamers less than 1% of the overall population?
Indeed:

I'm not entirely certain that its that much more, but some Linux gamers are probably hiding under some form of Windows, since I believe WINE can be used to run Steam just fine.
GOG, you'd think, would be interested in supporting Linux more, since I'm sure more Linux gamers actually want to give money to them than Steam. But what do I know?

Linux users are enthusiasts and enthusiasts are known to spend money. It'd be pretty dumb to not spend a small sum of money to at least get it up and running and let users launch GOG games with Linux builds already on the service in addition to letting the community run unsupported games via DXVK & Proton. That's the ideal use of Galaxy 2.0's community integrations.

Also the percentage of Linux users was higher in the Steam hardware survey before PUBG came out and a shitload of Asian players registered to play it.

A lot of Linux users report they've never had the Steam hardware survey run on their Linux partition, only Windows partitions (I'm one of them, been running Linux for years and I've only ever seen the hardware survey on my W10 partition) so they remain unaccounted for unless Steam is harvesting some crazy telemetry data off people's PCs that I'm unaware of.

Your ignore list.
Like some developers already said, it is not worth it. The costs to support Linux outweigh any possible profits due to its extremely low user base and higher tech support requirements due to the multitude of Linux environments.

Even if you double the amount of Linux users that Steam sees it's still an insanely small portion of the market. Yes sometimes you can make more from a niche, but only if you can charge more, which developers cannot without a shitstorm. There's no way it would be profitable.

Ninja'd by racofer mostly.

Brand new big fat RPG sale on GOG.

Also five new games, all of them RPGs of some sort:

I got Blades of Time which apparently is some sort of sequel or spiritual successor or whatever to X-Blades, a hack-and-slasher that i bought many years ago on Steam. For some reason this wasn't released on GOG despite already being DRM-free on Steam (i have my copy on my external HDD, it was one of the first games i tried on Steam to see if i can run without it) whereas AFAIK Blades of Time requires Steam (i do not have the game on Steam myself, just judging from what i've seen others mention at the past).

Exiled Kingdoms looks interesting, though i never heard of it before. Apparently it has its own thread here. Sort of.

Gordian Quest and The Waylanders are in early access (or "in dev" in Gogspeak), so dunno.

Vampire's Fall: Origins looks good (i like the dark and gloomy artstyle, though a bit blurry and the text looks misaligned in places) but i'm not sure what it is about. It says "single player" but also "no PvP" and "no in-game chat"... perhaps this is a joke attempt by the developer?

Barely dressed hot chick looking retarded. Yeah, no, that doesn't make any sense.

But oh no, in a game with weapons that put Cloud's sword to shame it's retarded to have boobs. Literally unplayable.

I know people here love to rail against the SJWWWWs but man that Blades of Time outfit looks retarded.

Has nothing to do with how sexy it is really, it all depends on context. They could have a full frontal nude scene where she spreads her legs and says "yes sir" and I'd be fine with it. I just don't want her looking retarded while she's out running around and fighting dudes. Keep your stripper outfit for the club.

Tomb Raider Legend is a good example off the top of my head of a game that had a crazy revealing dress for the nightclub level, which was all fine and dandy.

Too much clothes. She should be riding a mobs face to death with her "deadly snatch choke smash" attack.

Waylanders is SJW wank of the highest order, check statements on Avellone for context.
Vampires Fall is a mobile game, but a nice one. Its a proper 1 person rpg with decent combat, creative take on one person combat. I wouldnt buy it at 5€ because of its mobile origin but it is not a terrible deal.
I am personally somewhat interested in Gordian Quest, but I am not gonna buy into another Early Access anytime soon.

It's like you're saying words but they don't make any sense.

Naked chicks fighting shit = good.

Mobile game port.
Its amazing how mobile games, at least the ones in serious genres, have taken everything that was bad about flash games attempts and managed to make it worse. Why of all things, would you copy their weirdass movement?

Meh, I've seen enough JRPGs with a retarded amount of straps that something like that doesn't faze me anymore.

I guess that's why pornhub exists. Now days gameplay is more important to me than cute "assets."
