Page still shows the penguin and the Linux requirements.

Exactly... =/

So well over a month later they're still selling a game with DRM on it.

Eh, they've been doing so for over 2 years. What's a month more? :P

You can click on this link from time to time and check the date of the linux installer/tarball (currently 23 Jul 2014), as well as the changelog:

I shall try to remember to ping you when MaGog reports any change.

Well the difference is that they got caught over a month ago.
Thanks for the info!

MaGog to the rescue! Or should I say "mrkgnao and his trusty companion MaGog!"? MaGog seems to be the swiss army knife of GOG! :-D

BTW, how do you get info on every game on GOG? I was curious.

Would you mind posting on this thread too (if you remember to do so)? I too am interested on the game, just not under the previous (current?) terms. I will try to remember to check your link from time to time, too. Thank you.

I shall definitely try to remember to post here.

As for information about every game, see here.

Cheers.

GOG you dumb moffs. What were you thinking. :-P

Thank you.

You know, I was hoping that you would own every game on GOG. :-)

I just wish there was a changelog for every game. Even if most of them would mention something like "Developer's update" or "GOG fixes". At least we would know what companies take maintenance seriously.

As part of the global change in linux installers (see here), the DEFCON Linux installer has also changed. I have no way of knowing whether the DRM has also changed.

Thank you for breaking this news to me.

It is quite possible that GOG was delaying the update while they were finishing the new packaging system, and the schedule slipped --- as schedules often do.

I'm under the impression that mrkgnao does not own DEFCON, and therefore cannot access the details of the update (hence his last sentence). I no longer own it either, so I cannot check the changelog.

Maybe someone else chan check it? Or even better, some staff member can show up and try to bring some closure to this issue!

I do own the game and I can access changelogs for both games I own and those I do not.
The DEFCON changelog doesn't mention anything about a new DRM-free linux build.
My last sentence stems from my distrust of anything not checked by myself and I do not have a linux system to check it on.
BTW, you can view the changelogs for all games that have them, regardless of whether you own them, on MaGog.

Oh, man! How many levels of wrong could I be? :-P
I'm glad you have set the record straight.

I thought that perhaps with all those clever scripts mrkgnao has there might be some way of accessing that information without owning the game. Seems I was right, but he owns the game anyway! But I agree, I don't see any reason to believe it without verification from a Linux using owner of the game...
