The only question I have now is: How many sales do Take 2 require for them to consider continuing their Linux support as-is (or better yet, expanding on it)?

I point out that I'd raised this issue with them shortly after Cognition's release. The excuse was the same one given then. And they've been reluctant to give any indication of a Linux release for the Gabriel Knight remake, too. So what did they do?

Quoting: Evil PenguinDoes anybody know if this will support OpenGL natively or use some sort of translation layer like Source 1 and CryEngine does?
Good question! Valve's ToGL's performance isn't bad, though, so something like that isn't something I automatically frown upon.

GOG Linux support is much more likely due to their owners deciding to support Linux with Witcher 2.
