    Yes, I do actually. If GOG can’t do it then they should donate to one of the projects that enables their users to use the platform they want. Linux support is the most important feature for any service I use, I do not want to support services that treat me as a second class citizen.

      You’re talking about hundreds of games that were written by people years ago and would have to be recoded to play on Linux natively. I fail to see how that’s GOG’s mission.

        A native Linux client for GOG’s platform is a bare minimum one should except.

        No, I’m really not. I’m talking about an official client that is supported by GoG both monetarily speaking but also with customer support. Steam doesn’t have to rewrite things to work, and I’m not asking for rewrites. I’m asking for a Linux client, just like I have for steam. They support windows and Mac with their client, they can very easily do more to support Linux.
