The developers of the video game service GOG have published a vacancy for a Senior Engineer — its description mentions «GOG GALAXY development standards taking into account the specifics of Linux.»
Michal Kiczynski, co-founder of CD Projekt and new owner of GOG, has previously expressed surprise that Windows has remained the dominant operating system for so long. In a recent interview with PCGamer, he called Microsoft’s operating system «bad software» and said it was «hard to believe» that it had remained on the market for so long.
According to GOG CEO Maciej Golenbiewski, the company could «do more in this area,» hinting at a potential move to improved Linux support.
Another confirmation of GOG’s increased focus on Linux was the vacancy for a senior engineer who will work on the GOG Galaxy launcher.
«GOG GALAXY is our desktop client and the hub of the ecosystem — a place where players manage their libraries, connect with the community, and access features that go far beyond the store. Today it runs on Windows and macOS, but Linux is the next big step,» the description says.
The company noted that they are looking for someone who will help «form the architecture, tools, and development standards of GOG GALAXY with Linux in mind.»
