Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

Can I just go to gog.com, download The Witcher 3, click on the installer and have it install? Or do I have to configure some bullshit that's beyond the capabilities of the regular user before I can do that? You seem to be completely disconnected from real people. Real people also don't care about what kernel anticheat does and just want it to work.

I have played a game from GOG on Linux (Icewind Dale), it had Linux download, I opened it and the game played 100%, even multiplayer with non-Linux users.

Dunno about Witcher 3 specifically.

It doesn't. But congratulations on showing that Linux gaming outside of Steam is at exactly the same stage as it was years ago: Most titles don't work.
