Is that a licensing thing? A lot of GoG games are just DosBox wrapped games anyways. I wonder why more DosBox titles aren't supported. The addition of Linux games to the service follows last month's tease of GOG Galaxy, an optional unified distribution platform and client that the site plans to roll out in the near future. GOG announced back in March that it planned to roll out support for over 100 Linux games in the fall, but it said today that it sees "absolutely no reason to wait until October or November" now that the site infrastructure and support is set up for the new platform. To celebrate the launch, the site is also offering 29 of its Linux games at reduced prices for up to 75 percent off through Monday. For games compatible with multiple operating systems, one purchase gives access to all versions.

Users who buy a Linux-compatible game from GOG will be able to download their games as distro-independent tar.gz archives and/or as DEB installers that will work on Ubuntu or Mint. But GOG is promoting nearly two dozen titles that are being offered on Linux for the first time through GOG, after the site says it "personally ushered one by one into the welcoming embrace of Linux gamers" with "special builds prepared by our team." That list of new-to-Linux titles on GOG includes some well-remembered, big-name classics like FlatOut (and FlatOut 2), Rise of the Triad, Sid Meier's Pirates, and Sid Meier's Colonization (not to mention Duke Nukem 3D, which was previously available on Linux). GOG's list of available Linux titles is unsurprisingly dominated by indie titles and overlaps somewhat with the more robust list of nearly 600 Linux titles on Steam. That situation changed today, as GOG (formerly Good Old Games) announced support for Linux, offering over 50 titles for DRM-free download.
