*sigh* I guess it's to difficult for them to do a quick google to see how effective DRM has been on their games. :P Anyway, it's great to see this show up here. Hopefuly the sales numbers will be good and they'll bring more games here.

This does raise the question about if LAN support works with this release. I suspect that it wouldn't, but if any GOG staff or other users know, I'd like to know.

I think Feral Interactive is missing out on a good number of sales. They are making games for a platform that I believe many of it's users prefer DRM free. I would even buy some of the games on GOG a second time to get a DRM free Linux version. Maybe Feral could try that. List one of the more popular games here a second time, with FI as the publisher, and see how well it sells.

I think Borderlands GOTY is a very reasonable request. It's older and popular.

Pollitical correctness has nothing to do with it; it's more about giving GOG and Feral an incentive to bring the Linux version here by refusing to buy it until they do. By buying it now, GOG have made their money from it already and Feral will not get anything from your sale as it counts as a Windows purchase.
They responded very quickly to the email I sent them earlier, but it looks like a generic response & doesn't inspire much confidence:

iirc they publicly stated quite recently that GOG is not a viable option for them.

Looks like I missed all the drama. What's the story with the Linux version? Did Feral mess it up and refused to release on GOG?
Do you still have that e-mail? If yes, can you please post it in this thread:

Feral's attitude towards DRM-free releases?

Thanks!

Nothing really serious. I have bought the game without waiting for Feral's decision about their Linux port here and this somehow triggered some emotions ; p

That was from years ago. I thought I saved it but it looks like I didn't, after looking through my saved emails.

I've just checked - the multiplayer is completely removed from GOG version, there is literally nothing happening when you're trying to click on "multiplayer" button in main menu (this button was left there to mock and tease us ;P)

I see... That sucks. Why remove the LAN options.

Either the LAN option still requires Steam somehow or the easiest way to prevent errors from cropping up because someone selects online multiplayer is to disable the multiplayer button. I suspect it's the latter.

Normally something like this would disappoint me, but the multiplayer was so terrible it doesn't bother me at all. It's pretty rare for me to see a game where the introduction of multiplayer just makes the whole experience worse (all they did was tack on a feature as an afterthought that introduced bugs that would make the single player version worse until it was patched - the horrific lose all soldier abilities bug, which occurred until the multiplayer was patched as an example).
