Anyone knows if OS X version will be available via GOG?
I'm afraid that we have no plans for releasing titles for any platform other than Windows XP+.

There is a vote up for OS X releases on the new Wishlist, so one thing I can suggest is casting your vote. If anything, it could send us a message that there is a strong demand for these within our userbase.
I use Linux and Trine works fine with wine 1.5.0, and most probably it also works with older versions. So I can expect that it works fine in OSX too.

I would not really expect GOG to officially support any of us salmon types. However, in circumstances where the newer titles have existing versions on other platforms I wouldn't mind if, during negotiations, you guys happened to mention there are a few people that might be interested in the developers having some downloadable solutions to convert the windows version into one of the other said versions. Even if there is a fair amount of unsupported work involved for us.

ID used to have Linux and windows runtimes available for Quake3 and RTCW. You had to had to do some copying of the data files but that was no big deal. If all I had to do was install the game via wine (GOG installers generally work great) , run a runtime installer, and copy some files, then I'm more than happy to do that kind of off road work. I'm sure the community would be fine working it out on the side.

I know its a dev and per game decision and sometimes legal cross-wiring in between versions, but like I said, I wouldn't be mad at you if someone pointed out that some people dig that sort of thing.
I don’t know how the policy is about mentioning other game distribution platforms, but Steam seems to be challenged. They have Trine currently at a discount for 1,60€ (maybe 1,99$?). Of course you have to gauge if you want to support Gog.com, get a DRM free game, maybe even the devs will get even more revenue than by Steam. But on the other hand you could play both the Windows and OSX version of Trine natively when buying the Steam version. It’s a hard choice …

That does make it harder. I personally would like to buy from GOG for the lack of DRM and to keep all my eggs in one basket. I don't mind paying a wee bit extra for those things but It is a bit of a problem if they are not providing multiple platform versions for a game when everyone else is. Its by most people's standards the tiniest of problems, but I am thinking a bit on how I want to approach Trine.

In my case I keep hearing a Linux version is floating around out there, but the dev page has it as available and "coming soon" on the same page so I'm not 100% sure it exist for purchase, but if it does then I would like to try the native even though it looks like the game works fairly well with wine. Mostly because II would prefer not to use winetricks in any way as it makes it harder to come around later and say something is or isn't working. The App Database won't even let you contribute when you go that route.

Indeed now that GOG officially supports OS X I find it strange that Trine which was in the Humble Indie Bundle and has support for all 3 major platforms (Windows, OS X and Linux) is not available with an OS X installer.
