WinterSnowfall: Does anyone know WHY the open source AMD drivers are not supported?
Simple. Because when we tested the game on them it did NOT work. At all. Sorry :(

shmerl: Probably things have improved in the recent kernel / mesa. So you can retest it in the future and specify with which versions it works.
If we have time to do so because, honestly, just about every game we tested on those that was a native Linux version did not work.

WinterSnowfall: I think the standard GOG policy at the moment is to support Ubuntu 14.04 / Mint 17 along with whatever versions the drivers have in the default repositories of the distros.

Asking the average gamer to upgrade his graphics stack in Linux in order to play a game is a bit of an overkill imho, though I expect most Linux users to have a rough idea of what that involves.

Anyway, it all sounds like a support engineer's nightmare, so I don't think this will ever happen :).

WinterSnowfall: Ehm, no... Broken Age works, Psychonauts, Costume Quest to name games from Double Fine. And then I've also played and finished Deponia 1, 2, 3 on the AMD open source drivers. Guacamelee! also works...

In fact Grim Fandango Remastered is the first game that won't start for me (and for which I meet the hardware requirements) from the entire GOG selection of Linux games that I own.
That's why I wrote "we" as that was our experience with said drivers. I did not mean to imply that they won't work for you but you also don't have a 30 day money back guarantee to honor :)
