It seems GOG support got it completely wrong on The Witcher 3 for Linux. A different person inside GOG has said they have no idea why a previous staff member said TW3 was never planned.

Maybe it will one day, maybe it won't. We again are back to officially not knowing what's going on at all.
Until there's something more solid in future, this is likely the last time I will be writing about The Witcher 3. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: BeamboomThey are not even located in the same country: GOG offices are located in Cyprus, while CD Projekt is in Poland.
No, that's incorrect. GOG offices are located in Warsaw. Cyprus is listed for some legal reasons - no idea why exactly.
See here for Linux developer position open in their Warsaw office (this is for working on Galaxy).

This is not surprising at all. As someone working for a Medium-sized Tech company with over 30 Business Units doing their own thing, I rarely know what each individual Business Unit is doing..... and my team supports the Linux Infrastructure for most of them.

Quoting: MintedGamerI've given up on GOG/CD Project Red at this point. A Linux version of GOG Galaxy has been one of the most requested features on the user wishlist for YEARS, and has been 'in progress' according to the FAQ for years and years with no updates.
As a filthy dual-booter, I have an installation of Galaxy -- even on windows it's a pretty bare bones affair, with lots of obvious features missing. Right now it's good mainly for automated patch downloads (some of which are unnecessarily large). They *might* be waiting to complete the feature set on the windows version, before porting it to Linux.
On the other hand, they already have a Mac port, so there's that.

As they said, their main effort for Galaxy now goes into the libraries used by developers, rather than the client for users. What's strange is that they are so slow in making those available for Linux as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if the first person doesn't even know what Linux is & probably thought it was a rare species of Aquatic Bird. ;)

Quoting: KristianActually both are located in Poland, but GOG is registered in Cyprus. Kinda like how many US companies are registered in Nevada or Delaware even though they may conduct little or no business there.
Oh! I didn't know that, I've just earlier noticed GOG with a Cyprus address, Cyprus being my #1 holiday destination and the place I want to move when an opportunity arise.
Too bad really, I'd not mind working for GOG in Cyprus someday. :)
Still, it does underline the organisational distance from support department of a subsidiary company to product management in the parent company.

Really professional! ;-)
However, I'd also ask you Liam to gather a little more information before publishing an article. Please don't take this as blame, I generally like your articles, but sometimes it may be worthwhile to wait a couple days and ask around some more before publishing someone's unconsidered and unofficial comment.
As it is now, some articles are like ping-pong: X game will be out in a month! X game just got cancelled! X game was never cancelled/planned etc... Though I understand it may be frustrating with some of the incoherent comments you receive from official sources.
