I bought it on gog, yay for DRM free purchases.
GOG every time, mate. I have a NAS full of offline installers.
Boo for garbage Linux integration.
What do you mean? Is this why I haven't had luck with gog on Linux lol
Yeah CDPR doesn't care about Linux support at all. They for years promised Linux support for their GOGGalaxy desktop client and then abruptly deleted the webpage that promised that feature. Their Linux support IME is some dodgy shell scripts that never work right.
Lol how did I not know gog is under CDPR. Well, after all the promise and lack of delivery on cyberpunk, color me not surprised.
The Linux market is only growing, they should definitely be ashamed. Even the most random bullshit clients are supporting Linux nowadays.
CDPR has some interesting history. My understanding is that they got their start bootlegging games that couldn't be got legally in their area, and transitioned to making games for their isolated market. GoG felt like a way to he true to their roots, distributing the old games used to bootleg legally.
Boo to linux.
Just checked. Delisted to me.
Yeah but your initial comment was so smug, it's almost like you don't understand that a delisted game can still be played forever by whoever previously purchased it. Even if uninstalled, the packages remain available on Steam.
