I don't have a problem with Northgard. I have a problem with this version of Northgard, for sale on gog.com. I'm a Linux user. This is a native Linux game, which makes me very happy (Shiro Games, thank you for supporting my platform. I'm about to say some slightly mean things, but other than not properly notifying me of this issue on your store page, you didn't do anything wrong here, and I'm really really glad you made a port for the Linux community. For most developers, Linux ports aren't financially beneficial, so I fully understand that about 90% of the ports we get are acts of charity or shows of support from developers, and I am extremely thankful). HOWEVER. GOG Galaxy doesn't support Linux. At all (because CDPR are many good things, but they have never, ever cared about Linux as a platform and their actions have continually made that clear). And substantial portions of this game's content (multiplayer modes) REQUIRES the use of GOG Galaxy. For a lot of people, this won't be an issue, but for Linux users, this means that this version of the game is essentially a rip-off: You're paying the same $30 that you would pay on Steam for about half of the game (and since multiplayer is such a big part of RTS, arguably less than that). The GOG store page won't warn you about this, so it's only when you attempt to PLAY the game that you'll learn you got screwed. As such, the degree to which I like Northgard is immaterial. This version of Northgard, at least for users like me, is irredeemable, and I can only endorse buying Northgard on another storefront, like Steam. I recognize that for many users this won't be the case, but I can only review based on my on experience.
