I also suspect that general slowness of Linux resales on GOG (of already existing titles) was due to them ironing out these pricing contracts and problems. Hopefully stuff should go quicker now.

And their video section supports HTML5 streaming from their server. Kudos to GOG.

If you want to ask some technical questions to CD Projekt Red, you can do it here [External Link]. So far they didn't confirm they'll answer any, but ask good questions, and they'll hopefully answer what they can.

Rashid Sayed: Are there any plans to use Mantle or DX 12 features in The Witcher 3? May be post launch?

Balazs Torok: There are definitely plans for exploring different graphics APIs, post launch. Right now we are concentrating on providing the best possible game for the majority of our players.

Sounds like any additional APIs (which can be OpenGL 4.x) are planned only post launch, which indirectly confirms what was said in the interview.

@Plintslîcho: Witcher 3 will have proper fencing pirouettes, not roly poly doging. Also, for those who are annoyed by it in the Witcher 2, there is this mod [External Link].

Quoting: TealI dunno but there's no reason why an Environment Art & Level Design Producer would have any idea if there's going to be a Linux/Mac release or not as far as he's concerned, it's all PC (the controls, resources, delivery, are all the same).

That's a valid point, I'll ask the interviewer to clarify how much Michał Stec is involved in development of the engine.

Quoting: ZeloxWasnt this confirmed for steam os? They even got there free ad saying witcher 3 was coming on steam os.

Read the article carefully. SteamOS ad was never confirmed, or to be precise Valve / CDPR didn't comment on it at all.

Quoting: berillionsBut why GoG (which is a branch of CDPR) release a Linux version of GoG and why CPDR release The Witcher 2 (by Virtual Programming) on Linux too if they don't want to release TW3 on Linux ?

And why not? GOG added Linux support because many users and developers asked for it. They earn money on selling Linux games. Linux support in the Witcher 2 was added by reusing the eON port from Virtual Programming which was already done for OS X. They thought it will be easy to reuse. It came out not so good, so VP are working on fixing it now. Releasing Witcher 3 for Linux is a whole different beast to deal with. So I wouldn't measure TW3 efforts by anything else. Of course the fact that GOG started supporting Linux means that general attitude towards Linux in CD Projket Red has improved. But TW3 is a big project and whether it will get a Linux version would depend on their efforts with REDengine.

Quoting: berillionsActually, it's a good thing even if it's unconfirmed...

The Linux/Mac version is planned after the Windows release, i'm completly sure and it's absolutely certain. Why ? Because instead of to say "No Linux version planned for this game" to , Michał Stec said "It’s too early to say", "We’ll see after that" -> CDPR wants to take out a version but has not begun the development yet.

I'd say they are simply avoiding answering the question. It's better than straight no, but it doesn't guarantee anything really.
