This is, of course, going to include games that we sell which already have Linux clients, but we&#8217;ll also be bringing Linux gamers a variety of classics that are, for the first time, officially supported and maintained by a storefront like ours,&#8221; this site posted.<\/p>\n<p>GOG.com said they could not specify which games would be available for Linux as the project was still in its early stages.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t talk about what games will be a part of our GOG.com on Linux gaming launch, in part because we don&#8217;t know what those games are, but we hope that you&#8217;re excited.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited for GOG.com&#8217;s support for Linux?
