Quoting: hoolapararayahoocoukSo to summarise, there may or may not be a linux version of Witcher 3, which may or may not be in development and may or may not be released sometime that may or may not be in the future?

Yep, pretty much nothing new here ;) Personally, I'm looking forward to Wine supporting it. But I wouldn't mind if some wrapper version will appear as well. Native one is highly unlikely either way.

As they said, their main effort for Galaxy now goes into the libraries used by developers, rather than the client for users. What's strange is that they are so slow in making those available for Linux as well.

Quoting: BeamboomThey are not even located in the same country: GOG offices are located in Cyprus, while CD Projekt is in Poland.

No, that's incorrect. GOG offices are located in Warsaw. Cyprus is listed for some legal reasons - no idea why exactly.

See here [External Link] for Linux developer position open in their Warsaw office (this is for working on Galaxy).

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.
