It was an all out hate campaign against VP, against CDPR for 'lying about the port being native'. but the vocality of people went way beyond that. QuoteI agree, things were not right on release. Writing on reddit, this developer said ( source):
I later corrected what I said, as I always aim to.
I will absolutely hold my hands up as well, I made mistakes around it since I simply didn't know enough at the time, and to be honest three years ago I was still learning a lot about everything. Even I personally saw some of the hate that was sent their way and it was downright idiotic and absolutely uncalled for. The real problem, is the amount of hate that was sent towards the porters Virtual Programming and directly to CD Projekt RED as well. It was later fixed-up and last time I tried it, the performance was absolutely fine for me. Here's the issue: The Linux version of The Witcher 2 was released in a poor state, it had poor performance and just didn't really work well at all. This is the personal opinion of an ex-VP developer.
I should stress, for our own record here that this is not the official word from Virtual Programming or CD Projekt RED. An ex-Virtual Programming developer has taken to reddit explaining why this may have happened. The Witcher 3 is something Linux users have been practically begging to have, but the problem is that it seems it will likely never come to Linux.
