NovumZ: Those Strong feelings come; come when you found out that windows is rotten to the core with no respect for human rights. Within this rotten operating system sit several .dll's that are designed to call back the mothership and us federal agencies without your concent and if you remove them your operating system is irreperable/needs reinstall. But why would I want to?

blotunga: Still I don't get the problem with using wine for example.
I haven't tried using wrappers, are they easy to use?

I've spent a lot of my life in optimizing windows to squeeze the most performance out of it. Also I always modified cases for optimal airflow, that was my hobby, PC was my baby.

I always tried to look good in people and still am. I just dislike strong arm tactics from microsoft. They got big and greedy eat competition. Dictate developers. I live in my own world where everything is fair and genuine. I'm sorry.

Why should _everyone_ add a vote for Linux support. This is exactly the opposite of what should happen, as it will create a false image of importance of this topic.

If _everyone_ voted for Linux games to be added to gog, and after that no one bought/downloaded the Linux versions now available here, than it's a clear sign to the gog folk, that linux is just popular topic, that no one is really interested in.

It actually might show why both gog/cdpred are reluctant towards linux, everyone votes for it, no one uses it.

I agree, artificially increasing the interest is damaging in the long run; if 20'000 peoples vote for the Linux version but, once it's finally released, only 2'000 peoples or less purchase it, it will only achieve to make similar polls/whishlist become less and less relevant in the future.

Linux is getting pretty good for gaming now, with the large increase in games being released for it plus the major improvements that have been made to Wine over the past few years. Ease of use and hardware support have improved a lot as well (and for AMD GPUs in particular the open source graphics drivers have drastically improved over the past year or two).
To be honest, I'm more frustrated by the games which have Linux ports elsewhere but not on GoG. Overall, my impression is the momentum behind Linux gaming is waning. There are fewer big titles being released by the porting houses. Games like F1 2015 have been shown to be unprofitable. Platforms like GoG are ignoring Linux ports.

At this point, I think WINE is our best hope as Linux gamers. I understand the sentiment behind the "No Tux, No Bux" movement but I think we've already lost the argument that Linux is profitable. If anyone is still working on a Linux port of W3, I suspect it is as a hobby project rather than a goal of CDPR.

Sorry to be negative. I'd love to be able to play more games on Linux. I already have more Linux games in my library than I'll ever have time to play

Activision, ZeniMax Media Inc., Bethesda Softworks, Capcom, Electronic Arts (EA), and Ubisoft will never port their PC versions of video games to Linux.

Here's the AAA PC versions of video games coming out before 2017 ends that will not be released for sale for Linux.

Assassin's Creed Origins

Call of Duty: WWII

Need for Speed Payback

Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017)

The Evil Within II

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Here's the AAA PC versions of video games getting released for sale in 2018 that will not be released for sale for Linux.

Battlefield 5 possibly

Call of Duty 2018

Final Fantasy XV

Skull & Bones

The Crew 2

Here's the AAA PC versions of video games getting released for sale in 2019 that will not be released for sale for Linux.

Call of Duty 2019

The Linux PC video gamer marketshare is going to keep on decreasing by 2020.

On Steam's hardware survey I say by January 2018 it will be at 0.40%.

My impression is the opposite - while the initial surge due to Valve's SteamOS push has passed, there are still many games continuing to be released for Linux, even AAA titles. The thing about F1 2015 is, from what I've heard it's a very mediocre game (and its Steam reviews seem to agree).

Whatever. People said exactly the same thing about certain games from those companies ever coming to GOG. Also I've already explained to you numerous times about how Steam's survey is unreliable and how even if it was, comparing percentages alone isn't enough without also taking into account the overall size and growth of Steam's userbase across all platforms.

Because of choice!

If one Operating System is oppressive in any way towards its users we have a choice to play games on the other.

Even GOG galaxy has "freedom of choice" slogan in it's video.

Now we have No choice; but with enough votes we can make it happen:
