Half-Life: Source & Half-Life Deathmatch: Source Come To Linux

  • Left 4 Dead (the original)


I honestly don't think L4D1 will be ported. Why? Because L4D2 has all the maps and characters as the first just with different gameplay mechanics. Also, I don't think L4D1 is that popular anymore for the above reasons (Please correct me if I'm wrong). 

Yes I would love to see another game on Linux, but if the technical side outweighs the practical, why bother?

I'd rather see portal 2 and CS:GO before L4D1 in any case.

I think Trevor Longino from GOG says it best in defense of the company's stance:

When asked "And Linux?"

Linux gaming is also something we’d love to do, but we haven’t made any announcements about it yet. We’ve been looking at it.
I’ve been making public statements for a while that there are technical hurdles. Steam’s approach is to say, “Here’s our distro, we support this distro. Have another distro? Sorry.” That’s not how GOG does things, we’re more free-range gaming. So we’re looking at how to deliver the GOG experience on— we can’t say every computer, because you can of course hook up an E Ink display with 2-color CGA as your monitor, use Lynx as your web browser, and run some weird Debian distro that you’ve custom modded to do just what you want and then say, “How come I can’t play your games?”

Quoting: BoTuLoXThey just don't want to port their RedEngine them middleware-hungry pussies. They would not release to a platform their flaghsip game doesn't support. So... they're not getting my money with the Witcher 3 now.
What does this article have anything to do with CDPR and the Witcher? And where are you getting your sources to suggest they are porting/not porting?

Edit: Holy Crap! GOG is owned by CDPR?? You learn something everyday.
