GOG.com Goes Linux
GOG.com – the classic games distribution service run by a subsidiary of Witcher developer CD Projekt RED – has announced it will support Linux titles.
The site says it plans to release its first batch of Linux titles this fall. Currently GOG.com promises "at least 100 Linux games" at that time. This includes Linux versions of titles already on GOG.com as well as some being offered digitally for the first time. Back in September 2013, GOG.com said that Linux support was unlikely for the site.
Our Take:
With Valve bolstering Linux with its SteamOS initiative, it's good to see more options for those who choose to use the OS.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
