GOG.com adds Linux support as the open-source OS continues its march toward gaming relevancy

Valve isn’t the only PC-gaming company with a digital-distribution service that’s improving its support for Linux.

GOG.com, the online game store that sells new and classic PC games without digital-rights management, is debuting a number of games that work with the open-source operating system Linux today. The company previously announced plans to introduce support for Linux in 100 games by fall, but it went live today with more than 50 games already operational on the OS. This includes newer releases as well as old shooters that originally only worked on Microsoft’s DOS.
