"A Hat in Time" seems to be a nice game.
I'm happy to see platforms games back, like Yooka-Laylee.
I hope they make the linux port soon.

How many notes titled with GOG or itch.io you find?
Count them, and take your own objective conclusions.
Anyone who does not know Linux, could believe that GOG is more "Linux friendly" than itch.io... but is not.
Quoting: scaineIn the last 10 pages of GamingOnLinux, compare:Quoting: elbuglioneYou've got to be kidding. Nearly every article written on this site about itch.io screams its praise. Despite being a tiny store selling mostly indie games, everyone here raves about it, but you somehow you see "dedication" to GOG instead??Quoting: liamdaweIn all your notes, I do not see the same level of dedication for itch.io as for GOG.Quoting: elbuglioneStop GOG advertising!!!Yes, they are. Just because they haven't put out Galaxy yet, doesn't make them hostile to Linux. Don't be a moron.
They are not Linux friendly
And itch.io is REALLY Linux friendly
What are you on?

The Witcher 3 didn't come to Linux likely as a result of the user-backlash from The Witcher 2

If these partners did not meet the launch promises for their platform, VALVe should have been much tougher with these ... in fact, VALVe should learn a little more from companies like SONY ...
When a SONY partner does not comply with a contract for a launch, SONY punishes with financial penalties for such partners.
When I talk about these partners, I mean titles like The Witcher 3, Project Cars, Street Fighter V, etc...
7 Jul 2017 at 8:33 pm UTC
Quoting: ShmerlThe only real problem of VALVe is not knowing how to choose GOOD partners ...Quoting: elbuglioneWe are talking about Steam Machines. It is Valve's fault they didn't market them at all.Quoting: ShmerlValve's weak point is marketing.Yes, sure.
VALVe's fault

Quoting: ShmerlQuoting: etonbearsEven Valve, a company that seems to have a good reason to promote Linux, has very deep pockets, and requires the consent of only one person ( Gabe Newell owns over 50% of voting stock ), has really not spent the money necessary to move the market; possibly out of concern that Valve would get into a pissing contest with Microsoft.Valve's weak point is marketing. They utterly failed to push their Steam Machines. I really don't get why they treated their hardware partners that way. They don't have anything to fear from MS. If MS let's say goes, and bans Steam from Windows, so many people will be outraged, that MS will quickly back from that decision, otherwise risking a lot of people switching to Linux.
May be it was always just a leverage tool, and not a serious project? Though that would be pretty weird, and again very bad towards their hardware partners.

Quoting: ShmerlThey can demonstrate demand requests to their investors (to show potential customer base). Not sure what else can motivate them.Maybe you forget that the system does not work like this. CDPR should convince ME to buy your product, not vice versa.
Quoting: ShmerlDisprove them by flooding them with requests for Linux versions. And if you don't want to, it only proves their point of viewMaybe you're right ... being like that, R.I.P. CDPR

In any case, Gwent (2D Unity Engine game and NOT LINUX?) is the final evidence that needed to understand the problem of CDPR and GOG is unrelated to the difficulty of making ports for Linux, lack of time or poor support.
It is simply negligence...
CDPR and GOG have the policy of completely ignoring Linux.
Maybe, it's time to do the same... as I did with Activision-Ubisoft-EA

Quoting: ShmerlI did not know about that game.Quoting: elbuglioneMaybe we could choose to skip the part where we put the negative reviews for The Witcher 3 ... and opt for a rainfall of Positives in The Witcher 2, with special emphasis on its good performance for Linux ...I think simply expressing interest in their new (and recent) games on Linux is already enough. For example, GOG/CDPR seem to be focused a lot on their on-line game Gwent. It's even using Unity. Why is it not available for Linux? Personally I'm not so interested in it, but some are.
Do you think that approach would get someone's attention in CDPR?
Besides voting in wishlists I already linked above, leave some informative comments where you express your interest here:

If you want to praise TW2 as their previous achievement on Linux - why not. But show some visibility. So far the impression is, that very few care (besides the wishlist entry).

Quoting: elbuglioneWe could organize a boycott where we would massify hundreds of negative notes for The Witcher 3 on Steam, claiming for the version of SteamOS that never came ...
See the results of similar campaigns, such as "GTA V" and its MODs.
At the same time, we could organize a positive rain on The Witcher 2 on Linux, because its current Linux Port works perfectly.
Quoting: elbuglioneI think @Liamdawe and @Shmerl are the ones to organize this massive complaint on Steam.
Quoting: ShmerlMaybe we could choose to skip the part where we put the negative reviews for The Witcher 3 ... and opt for a rainfall of Positives in The Witcher 2, with special emphasis on its good performance for Linux ...Quoting: elbuglionefair enough...I had enough interactions with CDPR. Complaints won't really do anything with them. But I'm not claiming they are completely rational either. Some things they do don't make sense. Like quite major communication failures, or expectations that community won't react to stuff like "downgrade".
When you are interested on a different approach, you know what you have to do.
