> The Linux bridges have been burnt for CDPR This phrase made me sad, but it's an understandable statement. The article mentions several times that the Linux community in general was very toxic when it didn't get its way, and this isn't the first time I've heard the sentiment. It seems to me that the sense of elitism that Linux-users (including myself) generally carry can be enough to turn people off from trying to assist us from outside the community, and I don't think I'm the only one who has come to that conclusion.

I've seen it too. I use macOS at work, troubleshoot my gf's Windows laptop and use Mint as my daily driver. I'm far from the elitist camp. But the sentiment against Linux is surprisingly large. I posted 2 reviews for Overlord and Overlord 2 just to warn Linux users that a camera bug that makes the game incredibly annoying to play is still present and I was met with comments that I shouldn't be bothering to play on Linux. If the developer offers that support, should I not report issues with the port? I don't follow that logic. I didn't pass any judgement on the game itself, but couldn't really give a positive recommendation. For now, I value the lack of Linux ports for some items because I know the barrier to get it working on Wine (not always doable) will limit me and force me to get back to other, more valuable pursuits. Can't just game all the time as much as I'd like to at times.
