The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

    I have played a game from GOG on Linux (Icewind Dale), it had Linux download, I opened it and the game played 100%, even multiplayer with non-Linux users.

    Dunno about Witcher 3 specifically.

      It doesn’t. But congratulations on showing that Linux gaming outside of Steam is at exactly the same stage as it was years ago: Most titles don’t work.

        You are just trolling, or being in bad faith.

        I don’t know about Witcher 3, because I didn’t buy it on GOG. I bought it on Steam, works out of the box, no issues.

        So either tell me your experience, or stay on Windows.

          You download it, you click it, and nothing happens because Linux doesn’t run exes, like it was in the 2000s. What did you expect would happen?

            You’ve never heard of AppImages on Linux, that just… open the app on doubleclick? No install or anything?

            Because that’s what I got when I picked ‘Download for Linux’ on GOG…

            Get lost, you know nothing and speak nonsense.

            And don’t forget to mention everywhere how Linux community is hostile, and not you being a sorry excuse for a being.

              Again with this. You can look up the solution, I can look up the solution. Mr. Regular Joe who just got off an 8 hour shift and just wants to play games for an hour doesn’t know or care to know what Wine or Lutris are. You need to get out of your bubble.
