It's called Gaming on Linux. Not Gaming in General. However, they are not a Linux gaming publication, as they mostly talk about Windows games whose Linux compatibility is irrelevant; that stopped being news since 99.9% of Windows games work without issues.

It would be like Windows Central making an article about every Switch release that works on emulators. Sure, they are allowed to, but it's not what their publication is about.

Most games run on Linux if we take compatibility layers into account. What's the difference with IGN if they talk about all games that run on Linux?

I want to read about it, hence why I don't read GoL: because most of their articles are irrelevant. I don't care about a random indie game running on Linux; this isn't news.

Which is still a legal thing to do.

The new Zelda works on Ryujinx, where is the GamingOnLinux article about it?

Then what's the point? They could do an article about every Switch release, since they are technically playable on Linux with emulation. Or about Xbox Cloud Gaming using a browser.

This is general PC gaming news, not gaming on Linux.

Gaming On Linux is terrible. They have an article on their front page right now about a game called Fractured Alliance... which doesn't have a Linux version.

No, that's for all content:

and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content.

Which they define as:

1.3 Also, when we're talking about games, in-game content, virtual items or currency or GOG videos or other content or services which you can purchase or access via GOG services, we’ll just call them “GOG games” or “GOG videos” respectively and when we talk about them all together they are “GOG content”.

2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a 'license') to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use. We can stop or suspend this license in some situations, which are explained later on.

GOG has the same drawbacks as Steam without any of the useful features. They should cut down on their "owning games" lies and spend time improving their platform instead.

A photograph of two Chinese athletes hugging after a race has been censored on Chinese social media because the women’s race numbers inadvertently formed a reference to the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.

How fragile is their regime if it is threatened by race numbers?
