    Why? With Nvidia Linux is faster than Windows in commercial games. Furthermore, if it's working on OS X it will work far better on Linux with proprietary drivers.

      Ok cool. I believe what you say. The videos of the game just gave quite different 'yet another rubbish RTS' image.

      Will have to buy it once it is released on GNU/Linux.

      I hope I stand corrected.

        I recommend you to check more videos at youtube, because the one on Phoronix doesn't show true gameplay at all:

          Besides some obvious bugs they need to squash (which you can read in their Linux bug reporting thread on that forum), when I fired up Wargame:EE it felt like I had just fired up a new game in a typical Windows gaming PC; the game ran without any complaints and was just smooth everywhere and I haven't seen any visual glitches.
          I guess what I mean to say is it actually feels native rather than some half-assed port.

            CD Projekt (parent company of GOG) show interest in supporting Linux, if it is indeed in their plan to support Linux, knowing them they will bring it out with a bang (has they actually know how to use the internet has a free marketing tool), thus Witcher 3 release, which should be officially announced on the 5th, would be a good bet has the game to launch GOG Linux support.
            I do hope you are right as that sounds like the optimal scenario. Can you link me to where CD Projekt showed interest in supporting Linux? Introducing Linux support at the same time as launching The Witcher 3 (its launch hopefully including a Linux client) sounds great but what about Cyberpunk 2077 which is another title they are currently developing? What about The Witcher and The Witcher 2? GOG did not launch support for Mac OS with any new, major unreleased games either so it worries me.

              Even better, if it works on OS X, it will also work on free drivers. The OS X GL driver quality is inferior to Mesa's.

                  I see! Well, then let's encourage them to speed up the process!
