As for the rest of what you’ve written, I don’t know what you’re trying to say? It’s probably illegal everywhere in the eu.

Quoting: Eikedvd said we were getting screwed on prices, that’s what my reply was referring to.Quoting: damarrinYou realise it’s the EU screwing us, not anyone else?I call it taxes, not screwing. They're doing thing for us with the money. But I don't think this is the place to discuss this.
Quoting: damarrinThe price in Europe includes VAT, prices in the US don’t. There’s no VAT on digital purchases in the US. There is VAT on physical ones, but prices are always quoted without it and it’s added at payment time only if the company you’re buying from has business presence in the state you’re in.At least in Germany, law protects us from such behaviour. Suddenly showing VAT later in the order process is illegal (for private customers), so we're always shown full price from the beginning.

Plus, their tax is something like 7%, depending on state, not 15%+ like in Europe.

Quoting: ageresWhy so aggressive? No one is taking your precious 16:9 screens away. I prefer 16:10 and that is that.Quoting: damarrinI disagree, it’s much better than 16:9.Better in what? In videogames you get either a truncated image, or black borders on top and bottom. All videos are 16:9 now, so black borders again. When just using an OS and applications, there isn't much significant difference between 16:9 and 16:10.

Quoting: CatKillerThat is nice. I was talking about Linux only hardware vendors, however. All these 13, 14, 15 inch laptops they sell have 1080p screens.Quoting: damarrinI wish 16:10 screens would come back. :-(Dells have 16:10 screens.

Quoting: TuxeeOh, I’m sure it works ok. What else should I elaborate on? Stuff is too small, that all there is to it.Quoting: damarrinAnd the 1080p nonsense in 13-14-15" screens is baffling. Linux has no functional fractional scaling and those screens should not exist.Care to elaborate? I have a 13.3" display with full HD resolution. Works perfectly ok.

I’m sitting in front of a 15” 1080p screen right now and it’s just about passable, but going lower makes the system unusable.

Too high and too low all at the same time. Boggles the mind, I know.Quoting: damarrinthose screens should not exist.Why? The resolution is too high? Or too low? I have a laptop with an 11" screen and use no scaling at all.

I think CDP may have been neutral towards Linux before the Witcher 2 fiasco, but I think they’re hostile now.

CDP only made the Stadia version because Google paid them to do that. It's my opinion ofc, but it's clear as day that's the case.
Begging anyone to release anything on Linux, especially a Linux-hostile company such as CDP, is completely counter productive. They (we?) now have Proton which will support Cyberpunk sooner or later and they'll gladly take our money. Most likely, they won't even notice that money swamped with all the actual Windows customers as they will be.
We need market share. That's the only thing that matters.
