I looked at the vid from Xpanded and I think it looks like shit. Completely without detail, like a 10 year old game.

For the hell of it, I checked the depots on SteamDB. And to my surprise, the linux/mac depots are much smaller than the windows one. For this DLC by five times!

That can't be a coincidence. I suspect they removed detail from the world in order to cover up a massive performance problem. So it's basically like "low" when you put it on epic. Maybe someone with both Linux and Windows can verify this.

Apparently we're not allowed to see what it looks like! ;) (or to be more useful: "This video has been removed by the user.")

I'll just guess the fourth code. There are only like 2.2E23 codes. How hard can it be? ;)

Even saying nothing is an answer. It tells you it wasn't a mistake. I says that they have no clue yet what they will do. And that tells me that it wasn't a mistake, but they found themselves without an easy option to make it happen.

Anyway, I'll see it when it happens. Otherwise my time will be spent playing something else.

About a month or two ago they hired someone from the modding community who is now doing a scenario editor. After that, you should see at least some test scenarios. Final ones will probably not come until the game is feature complete.

I don't think it was entirely clear to some people, but what was open sourced is not the actual animation software, but the back end. I'm not even sure there is a rendering engine in there. So it's not something that is usable for an artist.

I'd be really impressed if they put that Presto animation program on Github as well. But I don't really see that happening.

So..... who want to take a gamble whether or not they will announce Linux support for Cyberpunk 2077. :P

It makes perfect sense.

If all the content is contained within the game, then the DLC is basically just a validation key. Which is DRM by definition and therefore incompatible GoG.

The alternative would be to actually include the content in the DLC and not allow players without the DLC to play with those that enabled it.

If they really wanted to, they could separate the content for GoG and have a mix of both options.

Quoting: KimyrielleWhat's the difference between releasing a DRM free game and DRM free DLC? In both case you're trusting your customers not to distribute illegal copies.

I wouldn't say "trust" is the issue there. You know up front that for some it is not justified. You do DRM free distribution because crippling the paying customer is bad for business. For most companies anyway.
