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.

Sounds like they're backtracking on their decision to provide a DRM free version. The weird thing is, the one in the Humble Store only provides a DRM free version for Win+Mac. I wonder if they'll skip the DLC there too.

I personally think one mail from gog support doesn't really say anything either way. Not that I had high hopes of it happening any time soon. I still think they simply thought they'd give it to VP and they would squeeze out a port without checking if that was even possible. This may eventually happen when tech has caught up.

The depot information does not appear to be too useful yet. Linux/Mac depots are half the size of the Windows one. And the game does not appear to be updated on Steam yet. So I doubt there is active beta testing going on through steam at this point.

Also humour is fine. But you're not going to survive the game concept itself being the joke.

What is most surprising is that it actually gets pretty decent reviews on Steam. From what I saw on the stream, it really had no redeeming value.

For me all Unity games run without issues (I don't have this particular game though). And that is the reason why they will only commit to support for Steam OS (or Ubuntu, or whatever). Otherwise they would have to check everything for whatever compatibility issues arise.

Of course, in this case they weren't actually specific about what they wanted to support.

So now I could finally have to decide whether this game is actually something I would enjoy.
