Quoting: GuestI'll surely welcome its release on GOG, but Square Enix aren't frequenting it, besides some old games like the actual original Deus Ex. So I don't hold my breath about it.Quoting: ShmerlInteresting, but DRMed unfortunately. I'll skip it.Just because there is DRM on the Windows version doesn’t mean there will be on the Linux version. Feral haven’t said anything about DRM, have they?
Quoting: SirDeiuA GOG version would be bliss. Feral won't comply though :(I don't think Feral have much say in this matter, it's decided by the publisher. And while Square Enix aren't against Linux versions, when DRM is concerned they are still in the dark ages. Kind of ironic, that a game which explores power corruption and its effect on society in dystopian / cyberpunk settings, is plagued by the same disease.

Quoting: MadVillainYou could just install windoz as a second OS, you don't even need to activate it.No, thanks. I'm not interested in that MS spyware.

Quoting: MadVillainNot yet, but it's moving.Quoting: ShmerlI don't think Wine will lag. They expect DX11 performance in their translation not to be any worse than their DX9 one. Of course implementing it all is a major task.Well ok, it's not lagging, it's simply not working)

Quoting: AryvandaarMaybe they are working on adding Vulkan support to their engine.It's possible for CP2077, but it won't help TW3 already. Because the whole huge amount of their shaders is in HLSL, and translation for that into SPIR-V isn't ready yet.

I'm glad they switched to OpenGL 4.x. Can't wait for UE to start supporting Vulkan already.

Sounds to me like support for some MMORPG like with in-game purchases (Star Citizen?). Never saw a point for paying for such items with real money. I'd rather buy another game indeed. Developers who want to have in-game economy, should use virtual money generated by in-game means (mining, crafting and so on). Requiring real money for that is poor taste. At least in case of Star Citizen you indeed can earn virtual money by in-game means. But they also allow using real money for that.
