So… Is this a good thing? Bad thing? Gut reaction says that probably not the greatest for GOG, being detached from a huge publisher like CD Projekt probably isn’t great for a niche marketplace. In their faqs it states that GOG had a strong year financially but they would of course bill it that way. The question about why the new owner did so also just sounded disingenuous.
Interested to see where this goes from here. While I love gog and am a patron, their Linux support leaves a lot to be desired. The sole fact that cloud saves are such a pain to get working has led me to switch back to steam. I hope with these changes they can maybe get some support on Linux.
So the co-founder of GOG and a co-founder of CDPR saw how GOG was being treated, and acquired it to make it better in theory. I’d love to see how this will go.
As for Linux, I wonder if he already knows about the Linux market. If he does, that’s great, as this is an opportunity for us Linux users.
