It seems GOG support got it completely wrong on The Witcher 3 for Linux. A different person inside GOG has said they have no idea why a previous staff member said TW3 was never planned.

Maybe it will one day, maybe it won't. We again are back to officially not knowing what's going on at all.

Until there's something more solid in future, this is likely the last time I will be writing about The Witcher 3. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: BeamboomI did think it was a little bit odd that support at GOG should be this well informed of such plans (or lack thereof). Even if they are owned by the studio, anyone who's worked for an employer this large (they are close to 400 employees as far as I understand) everyone does not know about everything that goes on.

They are not even located in the same country: GOG offices are located in Cyprus, while CD Projekt is in Poland.

Actually both are located in Poland, but GOG is registered in Cyprus. Kinda like how many US companies are registered in Nevada or Delaware even though they may conduct little or no business there. I do believe that GOG has a US office in California aswell.

That's a good idea! Let's just settle down this whole topic and move on to others games where we actually have some real news to report or informations to discus.

As I know law in my country, they can get money support from government as game developer, so they are registered in Poland. If GOG platform was registered homeland they will have to pay larger taxes.
PS I'm not sure i can explain that in english, so sorry if I accidentally mislead you

I kinda figured the GOG Support rep was wrong and now this confirms it. I stopped holding my breath for this game on coming to Linux, hopefully will come.

I think just CDPR was complaining about bad press because they probably had planned a SteamOS version.

Since they're not on DX12 they could never have hoped for Vulkan. The reason would be interesting, not judging if the port was done or not, but their decision base (financial, talent, ..) would be interesting. They're certainly not short on money after TW3, but they've to plan 5 years ahead.

So..... who want to take a gamble whether or not they will announce Linux support for Cyberpunk 2077. :P

I've given up on GOG/CD Project Red at this point. A Linux version of GOG Galaxy has been one of the most requested features on the user wishlist for YEARS, and has been 'in progress' according to the FAQ for years and years with no updates. I've lost all hope of GOG/CDPR porting anything to Linux.

Well that's still no answer at all...

If the Witcher 3 (with similar if not better performance than Windows) came to Linux, OMG that'd be a doozy . . . .
