"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 don't think CDPR are deliberately perpetrating of FUD. Rather they are victims of it.

    If wrapping all those native API's up and marketing it as "Steam" makes decades of FUD go away, then I for one am happy to call it a win.

    It also seems pretty consistent with their view on supporting games from GOG.com on Linux. They have always said they aren't opposed to the concept but fear having to support multiple different "standards" (distros I guess).
