Contemplating indeed more about this legendary game porter Ryan "Icculus" Gordon.
Maybe Gordon's next porting project could be GOG Galaxy. If GOG can't find the resources for it internally they should outsource it?
And what might be the overwhelming difficulty anyways? I mean so many years have gone by and absolutely nothing is on the radar on Galaxy for Linux.
GOG in general seem to support Linux, too.

Here's an interesting and enlightening interview with Ryan Gordon, a.k.a. Icculus for Linux gamers!
Ryan is someone you might have heard of if you game on Linux for a while now. He has been around for a long time, supporting us right from the time Loki made commercial ports to Linux, then when Humble Bundle started cross-platform bundles, and when Valve started their Linux initiative with Left for Dead 2 --> http://ow.ly/eDuJ30dTvMk #gaming #Linux #Icculus #interview #audio #RyanGordon #Valve
