GOG say the GOG Preservation Program is currently Windows-only

How does that work? Almost all old Windows games can be played on Linux with Wine or Dosbox?

[–] onnekas@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 week ago

Of course they can be played on Linux. I believe they mean that there won't be "official" support for anything besides Windows.

its not that they dont work on linux, its morelikely they just dont test for it.

How exactly is this any different to what they were doing 10 years ago?

It's not, they just decided they have a right to brag about it. And they do, when I started Dragon Age: Origins today, an update definitely surprised me.
