Quoting: wvstolzingBad performance isn't Linux issue. Windows game have bad performance too. In this case:Quoting: MohandevirNot against that idea if it helps AAA studios to consider à Linux release.Me neither; though one thing to keep in mind is that without almost complete feature & performance parity with windoze, Linux-only sales would end up generating quite a bit of resentment. Nowadays, Windows licences are nowhere as expensive as they used to be; if you're a student (at least in the US), they push the damn thing on you for free anyhow (that's how I got my several perpetual [not tied to student status; valid after graduation] licenses); and people getting their windoze pcs pre-built don't even realize that they're paying for the OEM license -- that being the case, being platform-locked *on the same hardware* that could run *the same game* better at little to no extra cost would be perceived as a pretty unfair deal, by someone who isn't already a Linux user/supporter for gaming-independent reasons.

A version for each platform. Purchased separately.

Quoting: EikeYes, but... I don't dual boot for over 4 1/2 years now, but I still already own Skyrim. It's too old to port.By Linux-only I meant literally Linux only. As in, not being able to play on Linux even if you had the windows version.

But one can't say that we don't want to. Though I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't buy a Witcher 3 port, just out of boycott.

Quoting: MohandevirProbably. I wasn't serious at all as all of us should be. Afterall, it's just gaming.Yeah, yeah. I know.

Quoting: wvstolzingAnd this is why I want GNU/Linux-only purchases. It's not like I care about Windows or MAC anyway.Quoting: KimyrielleAnd Beth's reluctance to release their games on our platform is of a borderline religious nature.I'm sure their prejudices play a role; but the moment they see that it's financially viable to release ports, they'll do it. (The bottom line being money, money, more money, etc.)
One deterrent might be that they're not sure how many *new Linux sales* they'll achieve, if they were to release a port. Dual-booters who have already bought Skyrim in antedeluvian ages, or recently on a sale, will get the port for free -- I'm sure that notion is revolting to them.

Don't be ridiculous, Witcher 3 is long past the point of being made for Linux.
Before the Storm sounds just about right.

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

Quoting: amataiWe were promised it so there is much frustration. We wants to support CD Projekt because many Linux users are fond of what GoG does.I don't want to support CDProjektRed anymore and I don't do GOG for that purpose. Steam is where I throw my money at - exclusively.

Quoting: GnurfosThere's something I don't understand, can someone clarify :The problem is that it can't find thouse game libs. That's the whole problem.
- In addition, why would there be libs already present in a game's folder, which are not used by default by the game launcher ?

Had the same issue on Slackware64-current.
Good to know that it has been noticed.
At the time I just moved the game lib dir to fix the problem.
