3 days agoLet’s be honest, this was apparent for a long time. Steam, a centralised platform, has been making strides in Linux gaming and has been making innovation after innovation together with its steam deck. Gog, a forefront to freedom in gaming, barely did anything for the Linux gaming scene. No innovation either. Its just the simple (and well needed) premise of no DRM. It’s necessary, but not enough. It didn’t cater to its niche, it just committing to creating one under a premise. That’s not how you go forward. How does this connect to bad management? Well, I think that with good management gog would make different moves. And wouldn’t rest on its laurels so much.
You’re missing the point. DRM free is something I respect, both as a Linux gamer and as a gamer overall. But what’s important is that a game runs before I get to bitch about DRM. Valve has done strides to make games work on Linux and I respect that. What I’m saying is GOG could do it too and it would fit their business model more than Valve’s.
