Another day, another GamingOnLinux article that makes me think, "what does this have to do with Linux?"
I get it. Windows games are playable on Linux. But that doesn't mean all gaming news is Linux gaming news. Or do the patches and configuration tweaks done under GOG's "preservation" program actually tend to improve compatibility with Wine as well? That may be the case but the article doesn't say it. It just lists off the latest games that GOG claims to have "preserved" by verifying that they work (or maybe patching them to work) on the current version of Windows.
The only games here with actual Linux compatibility are the ones that run through DOSBox, and not that it matters but I'd bet you a dollar that GOG didn't actually test their configuration tweaks on these Linux releases if they even updated them at all.
Real preservation means keeping the original versions of these games available, by the way, not changing them to suit the current sloperating system, especially when you're such a prominent distributor that your updated version becomes THE version going forward and it's anyone's guess whether the original unaltered release will actually be preserved anymore. And preservation is certainly NOT (though this one isn't really GOG's fault) replacing games with remasters e.g. >>527726387 so that the original versions become accessible only through extremely sketchy means as you're not making them legally available but the semi-legitimate abandonware sites won't host them either since other versions are for sale.
