It’s weird that GOG would try to upsell themselves as having tech ninja’s or being capable of doing this. At that point you are buying a torrent version of a game wrapped in a GOG installer that installs the patches. The people that made this technically possible are not credited and very likely if they can’t get the source code and are forced to crack it the original studio doesn’t exist anymore and you are just rewarding GOG and whoever the IP rights holder is. I dunno just rubs me the wrong way. Others might not mind paying for a “legal” version of the game. But it’s just a put off for me especially the patch stuff.
All that being said I might cave and buy the rayman 2 and 3 and hope I can get them to work under linux with minimal fiddling.
I might be late to the party, but what’s wrong with GOG?
Nasty habit of taking credit for patches like the system shock anonymous patch. https://forum.quartertothree.com/t/why-well-never-get-a-nolf-revamp/76491/7 This isn’t that surprising when you realize they also either get cracked versions and resell them or do it themselves at publisher behest. https://www.gog.com/forum/general_archive/gogcom_stills_sell_cracked_version_of_games/page1
