Game store itch grows up some more, as Double Fine now have their titles on it

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: Andrei B.Now, that Steam has introduced Steam Direct, I don't see any difference betweeen it and itch.io.
I see itch.io growing more and more.
itch.io is DRM-free.

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

The time to try to be nice and expect "the best", clearly ended long ago ...
Time to bring it to 100,000 and more.
fair enough...
When you are interested on a different approach, you know what you have to do.

Quoting: GuestYep, ballot stuffing is really going to help you. CDPR and Valve would be able to quickly identify the votes, what they are for, and remove them.
GOG pay attention to their wishlist. CDPR can too.
ok... BUT
GOG Galaxy For Linux (+10K votes) has been at the top of the list for over a year ... never came ... and maybe never will.

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.
I'm not using Steam. Anyway, instead of negative reactions, it's better to provide positive ones. See here:

So vote, and spread the word.

It was when they released the definitive version of The Witcher 3 and no news of TW3 for SteamOS/ Linux.

Especially in these times, where there are companies as serious, professional and fast like Feral Interactive... who would manage to launch TW3 without problem in less than a few months without taking any risks.

At present, CDPR and GOG are shining for their shameful performance towards the Linux community... SEE CASE OF GOGGALAXY [External Link]

I think we should take as an example the reactions of other communities (like the example of MODS GTA V), if we try to expect the same treatment as they...

Quoting: g000hIt's a shame we haven't got a port of Witcher 3 but "it's no big deal" - Just live with it.

You have a few choices:

- Don't buy it at all and forget about it, because it isn't on Linux.

- Buy it and play it using WINE on Linux.

- Buy it and play it on Windows, if you love the game so much. ( I did that for "DOOM" )

There is a huge count of alternative games that have Linux ports. Enjoy them, buy them and "show the love" back to Linux-supporting developers. More than 3000 Linux games on Steam. WOOHOO!!!

It is a waste of time, bemoaning the situation. During the recent Steam Summer Sale, I've loaded up on 10 more native Linux games beyond my previous collection.

No, you shouldn't vilify CD Projekt Red for not releasing on Linux. It's just childish and won't improve the situation.

Meanwhile enjoy Witcher 2 - which does have a full Linux release.
If you are comfortable with your purchase, you should not make any complaints about it ...
But, I'm pretty sure that more than one consumer (especially GamingOnLinux users) bought The Witcher 3, because The Witcher 3 was advertised for SteamOS.

I do not see any complaints from Linux users, against RockStar for not having delivered GTA V for Linux ... that's so, because RockStar never promised anything.

THOSE ARE THE FACTS.

Some things developers might want to think about when bringing a game to Linux

"tell us out of 1921 people who answered about their distribution, only 1 person is on a 32bit distribution"

32bits on Linux is almost dead
JUST USE 64 BITS!!!!

The share of Linux users on Steam is still holding steady

5 Millions Active Linux Gamers... is ok for me.
