Amazing, it only took them about a decade from it being the most voted for feature of all time until they started working on it. That gives me great confidence that they'll treat us Linux users like first class citizens /s
This new effort started when the new CEO bought back a majority of shares. He was one of the original owners. Back then their Linux efforts were also better.
Oh, come on. They are right about the DRM, I can give them the benefit of the doubt.
Inb4 some damn electron app
Will it too be 100x heavier than needed?
GOG Galaxy is like Steam but for GOG games, in case anyone else was wondering.
If the official macOS client is anything to go by, I wouldn’t get too excited. Just use Heroic instead.
will it have ss symbols too?
Only occasionally and they will say 'sorry'.
That is how people tend to apologize
It was an honest mistake. Anybody who read the statement should be able to see that. 👍
Honest mistake: "Yeah maybe in Germany that shit could give us trouble lets remove that, everyone else just send this shit"
According to GOG, the German QA team recognized the problem before distribution and pointed it out. However, the feedback did not reach the colleagues responsible for the international versions of the newsletter in time.
They were very open about their mistake and simply owned up to it. No bullshit. That's to be commended. And they promised to do better.
Take that or leave it.
TIL Poland education system is so fucked that Poland QA team is dumb as fuck and know nothing about their own fucking history. This only make sense if the international team handling this is in USA which I expect the worse thing possible so it's make total sense that they could do this level of mistake of using no only one Nazi symbol but TWO together.
They probably posted it from a PC. This only manifested on mobile devices for them, and they didn't check them before sending, is my understanding.
Sometimes people make mistakes, dude, Jesus. Chill. They owned up to their mistake.
Nah, they use the SS and two symbols that together look like the black sun. Even in their excuse that is not actually the SS but some pagan symbol why put two of them? + the sun ones. All their explanations sound like excuses. They messed up big time with either AI or someone who shouldn't be working with them and every QA was not paying attention. A simple "we fucked up big sorry" was better.
Can someone give me context to this reply? I have no clue, but based on the up-downvotes involved, it sounds important.

As someone from Germany, this would freak the hell out of me. Looks like a mistake, not something intentionally crafted. Whatever the real reason is (companies rarely say the truth), I understand the issue now. Thanks for the link.
The real issue is that they saw the problem and fixed it for Germany only and not for anywhere else.
You'd think Poles of all people would be aware of how it looks.
Maybe some Celtic crosses and totenkopfs too
What do Celtic crosses have to do with anything?
Great news. I hope they add linux native achievements , or cloud saves to linux native versions too.
I believe thatbis the point of GOG Galaxy, otherwise you can just use the native installers.
Hopefully they add Wine/Proton integration like Steam and Heroic have.

Well not only that. The client is there to auto update your games, and provide a friends list for social messaging in example. I also hope they integrate Wine, Proton and maybe other variants. Otherwise a Linux client would be pointless to me.
There's already Minigalaxy, which is libre and handles updates.
I agree.
It’s about damn time.
Why ? We already have heroic launcher.
Next step is adding a decent spanish translation to the website.
