Am I the only one who thinks CDPR gets too much hate anymore? They released three great Witcher games, championed DRM Free gaming, and launched a platform to buy old and new games that are also DRM free.They had one bad game that was rushed to market (like everything released by EA, Bethesda and Ubisoft) and all the sudden they are the worst publishers around. They even tried to delay Cyberpunk as long as they could, but rabid fans and online petitions basically demanded a release.

IDK, they're a mixed bag. For example:

  • DRM-free is great, but GOG Galaxy isn't available on Linux? Why? I'm not expecting Steam-level of support, but at least let me manage my Linux-native games
  • Cyberpunk's issue wasn't the late release, but the really misleading marketing; they claimed to have a ton of stuff they didn't, and fairly good roasted for it
  • Hitman online only - seriously? From the same company that championed DRM-free?

If Galaxy worked on Linux (my primary gaming platform), I'd but a lot of games from them. If it worked on Steam Deck seamlessly, I'd probably but most of my games from them.

Having GOG without a Linux client while selling games with native Linux builds is a weird choice that makes me think CDPR is now more MBA-led than dev-led.

There are no AAA publishers that are not MBA-led.
