  • Playdead is much smaller than CD Projekt RED


  • Playdead has a lot less cash than CD Projekt RED


  • Limbo is much older than The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings


  • Limbo already exists on Linux via a wrapjob

And yet here we have Limbo for Linux. Natively. Thank you, Playdead and icculus. That is how you build good will. I can tell which game I'll buy and gift and which one I won't.
Limbo code base is much smaller than Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Limbo is much more easer to test.

I think it is very hard to compare these two games.

Civilization 5 and Witcher 2 in other hand...
My first two bullet points tackle that rather nicely. Civilization 5 is another example, though, as is Trine. CD Projekt RED, being all about good will, certainly screwed up here compared to other developer studios.
Limbo would be a lot cheaper to port, also consider the fact that both games actually have similar sale prices. Witcher 2 is always £3 when they go on (-80%) sale, so they are not too far off, Limbo would be £1.40 on -80% sale.

Still that port is so bad that there is just no excuse, but can we stop talking about it? They already announced a new version, we should come back to this once it's ready.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition Released For SteamOS Linux

Found it minutes ago, wrote on it on the forum but I guess I was too late ;)

Either way, this is awesome and there is a chance they will also release Witcher 3 on Linux :)
