I understand certain market limitations might push you to release a Windows game initially, but keep in mind if you use certain technologies (such as OpenGL instead of DX11+, etc.) Linux gamers might also be able to run the game with third-party libraries. A Windows binary doesn't necessarily have to commit to the whole Microsoft stack

Linux version?
I suppose the game is using Unity. Are you going to release it for Linux?

I think it's a possibility, but for now it has been confirmed it is Windows only. You might have missed this one

As far as I know, such games (including the Witcher adventure game) are using Unity, so I don't really understand what prevents CDPR from releasing them for Linux natively.
Usage of "PC" as name for Windows is naturally rather annoying for us, Linux users (and all non Windows users for that matter).

Thanks for the pointer, I indeed missed this (I pretty rarely visit this part of the forum).

Moderators: can you please merge it into the older thread?
Maybe they will use their REDEngine for Gwent?
Why would they use their engine for it? It's an overkill.
To have fun.
Seriously though I don't know the reason. Obviously you are right, the REDEngine is the perfect tool for making open world RPG games, not for a boardgame

GWENT on Linux
The F.A.Q. states that "The game is expected to release on Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4".
Is there any chance, even a little one, that "PC" means also Linux PCs and not only Windows PCs?

I'd vote for that. But considering that the Galaxy Client does not have a Linux version (not yet anyway), I wouldn't count on it happening any time soon.

well, on the gog galaxy page there's written "and soon on linux" so, sometime in the future linux will have gog galaxy, which is a good step, maybe they'll tell something more after the beta ends, although it would be nice to know from the devs what they plan to do sooner rather than later, even if it was just a ''yes, no, maybe''.
