Did you mean DRM free?
No, the drm is for sale now. 80% off.
brb buying the drm and then killing it off
Godspeed 🫡
Rip and tear!
Are the demons the DRM?
No, the demons are the system processes: https://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/doom/chi/chi.html
Which I guess makes the player the DRM.
Title fixed, no idea how could I slip that. 🫥
It to the best of us
Sometimes it do like that
This was a pleasant surprise. I’m not sure buying the “bundle” version with the soundtrack is worth it as Mick Gordon got screwed over by Bethesda, and also it’s just plain 320 kbps MP3 - not that my old tinnitus ears would be able to differentiate that from lossless, but worth mentioning.
Does it run natively on Linux now that it is DRM free?
DRM Free doesn’t magically make it run natively on another OS, it still needs to be manually ported. No, there’s only a Windows version, but the Windows game will run perfectly fine on Linux under Wine/Proton if you use the Heroic Games Launcher for your GOG games.
I mean, it uses vulkan and everyone was saying the only reason it didnt run natively on linux was the drm.
I don’t know who said that but that is not at all how DRM works. If the developer does not explicitly release a Linux port of the game, it will not run natively. After all, the offline installer files for Windows games on GOG (when you aren’t using a launcher) are .exe files, which will only work on Linux using the WINE compatibility layer, which automatically makes it not native.
Also, have a look at this screenshot from the actual GOG store page if you’re still not sure:
It only shows a Windows icon, this is how you know what platforms it runs natively on. If there were a Linux port, there would be a Tux penguin icon to the right of the Windows icon. For example:
