PC. Because we know we'll get nothing less than great keyboard mapping, superior visuals, proper UI support and perfect optimization. Right CDPR? Right? .........

Hey,
What do you mean? I don't get it. I purchased the GTX 1080 Ti back in September.

Yeah, sv is right, that's what I was wondering.
Basically, cryptocurrency miners have been buying up all the GPUs for their mining rigs and it's caused a big shortage, and really expensive prices because we're in America and supply and demand is just the greatest thing to ever happen to us.most likely Xbox One unless if i can do some upgrades to my PC. mainly the i5 @4960k and the GTX 750TI. I got 16gb of ram so i am good there,

Steam link, my friend. I've been using it to great effect so far. Very cheap, too, from what I remember.
I mean, this is assuming you play games on Steam. If you play most of your games on GoG or buy directly from the developers, it won't serve much of a purpose.

I had no idea. This is good to know. I bet you could even launch your web browser through Steam, if you wanted to.
You're both right. As Gilrond says it isn't the platform that dictates whether games get released on Linux or not. As Lisbeth said Microsoft is playing dirty pool, but, as I said, it isn't with the platform. Microsoft is playing dirty pool with their proprietary API: DirectX. The majority of games are programmed with DirectX in mind, this is rather perplexing as DirectX is nowhere near the ideal graphics API. While certain developers can afford to pay alternate employees to program for DirectX and another API, they seldom do. As it's cheaper to simply pick one and go with it instead. OpenGL and Vulkan are cross-platform, so it begs the question: why don't developers develop with these APIs instead?
OpenGL has handily outperformed DirectX for years, yes even DirectX 12, and the newest API, Vulkan, is even better than OpenGL; so why don't developers use OpenGL or Vulkan? The answer is, as Lisbeth said, Micro$oft shelling out the big bucks for exclusivity. The OpenGL Architecture Review Board didn't have the backing to play hard ball like Micro$oft does. Since both of the latter APIs are now in the hands of the Khronos Group things may change, although they're a non-profit, member funded consortium their controlling member's make up quite a large portion of the tech industry, certainly a larger portion than Microsoft.

There are more potential CP2077 buyers who are Linux gamers. So your estimation is incorrect.
I'm all for more games being released for Linux in general, so I have absolutely no problems with this - especially given the fact that Linux's userbase has been growing in recent years and months. I don't mind if it takes them a little longer to release the game if it means a mostly-unserviced portion of the market can finally get their hands on AAA titles.
Hope it happens!
