We already knew that GOG were going to be looking more seriously at Linux, as covered here previously on GamingOnLinux. However, they’re going a step further as noted in their job listing on how “Linux is the next major frontier”.
Job Requirements:
Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption
Nice to have:
Passion for games and game preservation
AI Mandatory, game preservation optional. Glad they got their priorities straight 😅
enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption
Seems like they want to hire an AI salesman, not an engineer.
It’s kind of the new loyalty test you have to pass for companies nowadays to get a dev job.
“Oh yeah I love AI and want to be replaced by robots. Spank me harder daddy”.
Honestly if part of their job is at all trying to get old shit to run on new operating systems AI is very useful for that task.
Part of my job is keeping a 30 year old c++ application compiling and building on newer versions of Linux. LLMs have made this a far easier experience.
Good morning GOG!
no fucking thanks.
i’d stay with the unofficial clients rather than touch this soon to be slopware.ok that was always allowed

Old news.
Two days old. Before they were saying to “consider” implementing a linux version for their launcher, now they are hiring.
