GOG withdraw their statement about The Witcher 3 never planned for Linux, they have no idea

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.

Sad, TW3 is a really good game. But I have to say that CDPR always said they will be looking into it especially since they use their new engine version which is "a lot better portable", but never confirmed any plans.
I'm sure they could afford a port. My personal guess is that they planned not to do it in house, and after the experience with TW2 and the bad press, they stepped down from their plan.

Real-time combat is the deal for me. Was missing games with real time combat...

Quoting: ExpalphalogI love 4Xs but real-time combat is a deal breaker for me.
I love the fact that as a Linux gamer I can actually afford to be picky now.

My guess is that if it wasn't Linux, we'd see BSD in the spot Linux is now.

What the hell are they statically linking to the linux binary? That's insane :D.
Ashes of the Singularity developers say Vulkan for their game is pretty far along, Linux after

Linux main issue after Vulkan, if they do a Vulkan port, is Input and Window Management.
There are quadrillion solutions for that, if they fail on that, they are a fail. I doubt that. The work for proper scene creating and input management shouldn't take them more than a week. If even. At least if their engine is a bit designed for abstraction, which I'm pretty sure of.
The hard part is quality testing. Vulkan, even in our drivers, evolves fast. Okay, SteamOS may not be the issue, but we've to face it: Majority is Ubuntu with historical binary drivers (if we talk about Vulkan), that's an issue.

Oh that's ... a really good find.
Though, no official note they are allowed to release on Linux. But that's certainly a good find.

That would be really huge. I have to tell my wife to hide my wallet <not>!
Though, often that's just tests they're doing, which get published with the rest on SteamDB, but never actually get released. Like engine tests for SteamOS/other platforms.
Though, Deus Ex is one of my favourite sequels, that would be HUGE .. for me.

Star Citizen, Ryse: Son of Rome, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Homefront: Revolution
Though, all CryEngine IV, not sure if they'll ever see a Vulkan and/or CryEngine V release.

Survival, Shooters, RPGs, FPS, Turn-Based strategy, Simulators, RTS...
All I'm missing is RTS with build-up like good old StarCraft, C&C or similar.
