Too bad it's ugly.

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.

No they have not. If they dumped their own cartridge or had the ROM somewhere in their archives, it would be identical to one downloaded from the Internet. The whole controversy happened because someone saw the iNES headers in whatever release of Super Mario Bros was new at the time. Those headers are added by all NES cartridge dumpers, and the creator of this format developed the NES emulator used by Nintendo in Animal Crossing for the GameCube.

Which is still a legal thing to do.

I would. They would have been found out already if it were the case, and they already proved they can develop their own emulators.

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.
