They also completely ignore Linux, which is ironic for a company selling DRM free games.

apparently they fired their only linux guy as a cost cutting measure or something.
on one hand another dosbox conig won't be much different on linux, for everything else they should just offer a community site like proton does (or they checked and most of their games are already covered by it, so why bother)
meanwhile yuropoors have to deal with slavs where half the time you have to wonder if they're cheating or just legit in their slav-ness (the gregor-meme has to come from somewhere).

Isn’t that the only really, really high profile game coming out of China at this point, and it’s basically a gacha BotW?

Just wanted to make sure. I seem to remember that and some game about Sun Wukong that seemed like a scam to make people think they can make stuff that isn’t shovelware.

China needs to stop ripping off everything, or atleast when they rip it off make it seem less obvious. We don't need a China Clone of Odd Taxi.The farms was the last place I'd ever imagine seeing Fei Yuching posted

azur land and girls frontline say hello. there's also tencent having it's fingers in more pies people are aware of, like how many people even know riot is a wholly owned tencent studio? and if they do they mostly miss what netease is doing.

Well I guess one side-effect of this is that the man behind this Steam account with a Nekopara avatar, wallpaper, fanart, achievement showcase showing off his 100% completion of Nekopara games, and OVER 9000 HOURS LOGGED PLAYING NEKOPARA will have to find a new hobby.
He's currently offline. RIP Cat Loli Man.

GOG cucked to China and didn’t even have the balls to admit it, blaming “gamers” for requesting the change. And given how much GOG pushes GOG Galaxy these days, it’s not unreasonable to assume that’s a form of spyware itself.

I'm not from China so I can't attest to their state of mind, but if I were to guess it would be that because Steam is perceived as an American company? It could be CCP shills though since they're saying the same things, I really wouldn't know.

>Hey, are you sure letting go of the guy that makes windows games perfectly playable on linux is a good idea?
<LMAO duh! Let them fuck around with WINE if they really want to play Windows games
Pirates justified yet again! Why bother giving money to a company that doesn't give a shit about you?
Granted, it's not that hard to configure WINE, but it's not exactly perfect either.

Linux sucks less than Windows. But it is still fucking terrible.
The last good OS was Windows 95.

to be fair it's still a for profit company, means they can't just throw money out of the window (or not for long). most of the old games should work just fine under linux, performance won't be an issue and even most compatibility has been figured out these days. any other game that also gets sold on steam most likely has a proton entry and community working on it which is more than gog could ever do or even contribute unless they pay someone to work on proton and/or provide monetary incentive to publishers for better linux support on their end.
sure, they could provide linux "installers" (even tho there are tools to extract the existing ones and most people using linux know how to use them and get the game running), but then they would have to provide it by themselves for their whole catalogue (else someone will complain game X doesn't have one) for a user base that is how big?
it's easy to shit on them, but it's just as easy to miss/ignore the contributing factors.
