Are there any plans to bring the LInux version that Itch.io has over to GOG ?
Also interested - will the native Linux version be available on GOG?
Same question!
Pools Demo doesn't work under WINE. So, unless they bring over the Linux version, I will not be buying this.
Pleased to say, official POOLS Linux version is now released on GOG

Hmmm, according to GOGDB there are no installers for Linux nor Mac, even though the store page now shows support for Windows/Mac/Linux. Can you take a look?

Thanks
Yes, please! I immediately purchased it when I saw the Linux version listed as now available, but there is no download for it present. I am quite eager to install it and check it out!

I created a test account and indeed your right, I cannot see the linux/mac installers in the browser interface.

However, I was able to access Mac version via GOG Galaxy client.

For Linux, there is unfortunately no official GOG client currently to my knowledge. It was possible to download and play POOLS via 3rd party GOG client Minigalaxy (image attached). Please note these 3rd party tools are not officially supported by GOG or our team, but to my understanding they are widely used in the linux community and are considered stable and reliable.

Conclusion is that the game seems to be available via GOG client, but not via browser interface.
I'll reach out to GOG and ask about this - perhaps they can update it

Thank you for reporting (and sorry for late reply)

Just received confirmation that Mac and Linux installers should be now visible in the user library via browser!
According to the website, the DEMO should also support Linux & Max, but....it does not.
GOG, you're wasting my time.
