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: Stupendous ManReally 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.
Liam is not the problem, it's CDPR & GOG who seem to be unable to get their acts together in TW3 case. Feels like there is no official line of conduct for this particular game, on their side, leading to all sorts of awkard answers.
Obviously there is or was a willingness for a Linux port but don't know how or when. Else, I dare hope that CDPR would have already cleared the issue a while ago. It's just not yet in their priorities. Incidents like these may change that but I'm not sure if it will be in our favor...
Edit: Typos!

So to summarise, there may or may not be a linux version of Witcher 3, which may or may not be in development and may or may not be released sometime that may or may not be in the future?

Yep, pretty much nothing new here ;) Personally, I'm looking forward to Wine supporting it. But I wouldn't mind if some wrapper version will appear as well. Native one is highly unlikely either way.

A wrapped version would help us showing our support, though.

Quoting: BeamboomI did think it was a little bit odd that support at GOG should be this well informed of such plans (or lack thereof). Even if they are owned by the studio, anyone who's worked for an employer this large (they are close to 400 employees as far as I understand) everyone does not know about everything that goes on.
They are not even located in the same country: GOG offices are located in Cyprus, while CD Projekt is in Poland.
They share the same building in Warsaw, Poland. You only see Cyprus on your receipt because that's where they are paying taxes. Damn you Cyprus and Ireland.

I'd prefer to have low taxes everywhere but since that's not the case, yes, I blame them. That's their business model to attract companies to pay taxes there even if sales and manufacturing are not actually there. They are driving tax money away from the other countries and thanks to shady tax laws they are the countries with the most HQs in Europe. That is not fair to other EU members. If they would not be EU members then they would be free to do whatever they want.

Quoting: killyouThat's like blaming the bartender for your alcoholism. I doubt anybody forced GOG execs to register their company in a tax haven. But we're going way off topic here.Quoting: tuubiI'd prefer to have low taxes everywhere but since that's not the case, yes, I blame them.Quoting: killyouDamn you Cyprus and Ireland.Sure, blame the tax havens.
