"Followers of the Penguin, Marcin Iwiński, one of the founders of CD Projekt RED, has spoken out about why the developer of The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077 has not yet shown any support towards Linux.

Marcin says: "You know, one of the reasons we have not released The Witcher on Linux is that we most probably have to address five different versions of Linux and this is always terrible to support the quality of the games afterwards. The patches, the updates, and everything. If Steam will deliver a constant Linux environment, call it SteamOS or anything like that, we would love to have our games there because, you know, the more people play our games, the better for us."

    I'm not keen on all aspects of Steam. But, thus far at least, Valve does not seem to be uber-evil, as far as corporate overlords go, so for now I'm content to use them (let them use me), to advance gaming on Linux, so that I can have the games I'd like. Also, if their little plan comes to fruition, it will also kill off nasty Sony and MS console gaming, which doesn't suck.

    Oh, yeah, sometimes they also have some really nice sales... :)
