Could also be a difference in the games. But I just dump the folder into the default wine prefix and run them from there.

What kind of issues do you expect with cracked games? Maybe I’m lucky, but the 20+ cracked games I tried worked perfectly fine in WINE.

Apart from the fact that all things you listed exist in one form or another on GOG, have you considered that there are people that prefer not having all those random bullshit social features in their game store? Stream may be more popular, but getting out of their niche and copying steam will alienate their fans without attracting steam users.

Also fuck the workshop, it’s the worst thing that ever happened to modding. It’s a total pain in the ass to download and apply a mod that is only available there to any non-steam version. Additionally it produced a generation of gamers that is unable to trouble-shoot even the tiniest problem with the mods they applied.

Underhand is a nice little resource management game.

Not judging, just curious.

What games are those? In the last 12 months I tried 151 games on Linux. All of them worked, only 6 required tinkering.

Apple can’t even be arsed to support games that were released on their own platform like 5 years ago. Why would they suddenly start bothering to support games released for other platforms?

How do you propose GOG should handle forever support for a nearly endless number of shovelware games? Preservation is more than offering the downloads, the games also need to run on systems people actually have.

As far as I can tell they are fullfilling all their marketing promises by taking charge of updating games when developers stop doing so. I wish they would do that for the Linux versions as well as the windows versions, but it’s absolutely better than nothing.

Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is a slightly obscure CRPG from Hungary / Austria

Coridden is a very unique ARPG from Sweden

If you are willing to slightly stretch your definition of european you can also get the IMO best two CRPGs on the market Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader from Owlcat which have their headquarter in Cyprus, but if I understand correctly most of the actual development happens in Armenia.

More importantly: I no longer support Microsoft
