Quoting: LeopardApology for what? For this?

No, for this:

Then we must apology from VP for life threats or other kind of abysmal things.

It is not related to Cdpr at all.

Quoting: artvandelay440Well, I mean if we're shooting for the stars here, I'd knock on CDPR's door with a whole big box of apology and ask/beg is there's any way they'd consider The Witcher 3 being ported to Linux by this fine fellow.

Apology for what? For this?

Quoting: HollowSoldierLess market segmentation is good for the customer. Keep buying from existing places. It's not like GOG is full of GOG-exclusive titles.

Less competition is bad for the customer.

But GOG doesn't want to be competitive on Linux , they want to be competitive on Windows and MacOS. You can tell that by judging on games they own and availabilty on also Mac and looking at Galaxy Client.

Then what should Linux customer do? For supporting competition , buying products from a platform basically saying " Linux users , you are second class citizens " ?

Steam is way to go , Itch.io is also a good drm-free market , Humble is providing drm-free versions also.

GOG is not a must when it comes to Drm free.

Quoting: TcheySad... I already don't buy from them since some time already, because of Galaxy not on Linux exactly. So, this is only going to enforce my feelings in a bad way...

Not sure if it's smart or not, as if i, we, don't buy Linux games from them, they might very simply stop releasing games for Linux at all.

Humble, Itchio and Steam are my main stores, and it won't change soon, it seems.

They're not releasing anything for Linux as i'm aware?

Developers are putting Linux builds in there and Gog allows it because they are getting their cut.

Quoting: LeopardThus, I won't buy a single title from GOG.
I don't want to be hostile to GOG but i don't care a platform which don't care a bit about Linux.

That's a good attitude to take if you'd like to ensure they never change their priorities.

I don't want to be sycophantic to GOG but I reckon you're overly unfair on them. We're still a tiny market. They actually support Linux as a platform. They release what they can within the confines of their developer relationships.

The fact that they haven't yet released a client shouldn't take away from what they have given us (at a brief glance over 700 DRM free games).

I think i'm not unfair to them actually.

When you compare how big Steam vs Gog and their support about Linux , with your comment you're being unfair to Valve.

Gog is simply saying , Windows and MacOS is all i need.

We're not even %1 on Steam which held much more gamers than Gog , they're still supporting Linux.

Well , it was a very well known truth.

Thus , i won't buy a single title from GOG.

As a note , whoever says " +1 for Linux , yay! " is basically will br saying " I'm gonna buy it when it is released ".

So if you are not sure about your thoughts upon an F1 game , don't give them promises.

Unreal Engine on Linux + Careless Dev

Not surprising at all

I think that can be related with API's.

Since Vulkan is being used on Feral's Linux ports , games were published with both OpenGL and Vulkan because OpenGL is still doing good and most important ; it is more reliable when it comes to drivers. Especially with open source ones. Mesa Vulkan drivers are not there yet.

On the other hand , publishing a game to MacOS with OpenGL 4.1 with it's crappy drivers is really pointless. So probably they are going with Metal only.
