I think it's mostly that CDProjekt and GOG got called out by the Linux community for pulling support of the Witcher 3, and some other things. The CEO had a bit of a tantrum about it and now won't support Linux.

Witcher 2 for Linux was pretty crappy though.

It is about the only linux release I've never managed tu run.

I mean CDPR staff did get death threats, let's not forget that in this story.

While there's no reason to send death threats because a game company pulled support for $OS, there's no reason to pull support for $OS because of death threats either.

There's always someone really, incredibly angry on the Internet.

I agree but painting the CDPR tream as "having a tantrum" without context is disingenuous.
