I also saw some video about making the Hobbit films, and you can actually see KDE being used for it.

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 don't get it either. It's b.s.

Yes, it's complete nonsense either way, as DRM itself is after all.

Quoting: sobkasOr do developers see their game(Armello) as a platform that delivers(?) DLC to their customers.
Because if they do, it's quiet logical for them to try to stop potential "whales" from getting their DLC-fix by not so legitimate ways.
But if it's true does it means that their game will end as a glorified DLC(-pushing) store?

Then the game is not DRM-free, and GOG should reject it to begin with.

I'd also recommend to wait, since plans can change. Better safe than sorry. Use a rule - don't buy until Linux version is available (unless it's crowdfunding, which is a separate story).

Quoting: TeqI don't know what the root problem is, but I'm starting to suspect it's GoG.

No, it's not. GOG doesn't stop anyone from releasing patches. Problem is with developers who don't care (Frozenbyte updated Trine 3 on GOG only after users complained multiple times, and asked GOG to reach out to developers explicitly).

May be developers simply aren't professional enough to address this issue. Similar problem happened with Age of Wonders III (they just didn't want to release the Linux version on GOG at all). And here, they didn't explain what the problem is really. If it was legit - let them spell it out. Otherwise - ignore them from now on. I'm glad I didn't buy the game yet.

Quoting: EhvisI personally think one mail from gog support doesn't really say anything either way.

Yes. This question should be addressed to CDPR directly, not to GOG.

Quoting: KallestofelesWhat pisses me off most about this is the fact that CDPR has never made a clear statement about the possibilities of a linux release - they have always just ignored the question altogether.

That's not true. See above. They answered this question multiple times. But, they never provided any concrete plans (like dates of release and etc.). They only confirmed that they indeed planned it and were even working on it. Later that changed to "looking into" and "exploring", which indicates some difficulties I suppose.

It was clearly planned to be developed, as CD Projekt Red confirmed multiple times (see here [External Link]).

Since this was a response from GOG support, I think you need to understand it in their context. GOG never planned to sell TW3 for Linux, because CDPR never asked them to. They didn't have anything to sell. It doesn't mean they never had plans to make it though.

Anyway, support folks can't answer questions about their parent company's plans. That's a question to their management.
