    We need the game publishers to face more consequences for shoving BS kernel level anti-cheats and not focusing on where it actually matters, server-side.

    (Which would also solve the Linux AC problem by extension)

    “Sir, a significant market segment says we’re ignoring them.”

    “Are they still giving us money?”

    “Yes sir.”

    “Then fuck 'em.”

    Sure. Harassing developers always works. I remember when everybody did it to CDPR about The Witcher 2 so they fixed all the issues and made a perfectly working Linux version of The Witcher 3. They definitely didn’t swear off Linux completely.

      Anticheats on Linux don’t have kernel access… Have you ever heard of people needing to type their root password to launch a steam game before?

        Yeah, I know. I’d like it to stay that way. Furthermore, this is also why games with kernel-level anticheat still don’t work on linux, despite developments in wine/proton.

    The only game I currently play is KSP. I’ve grown so tired of all the crap out there.

      Is it more stable? I always ended up getting either a kraken or like 2 fps with a giant space station.

        KSP 2 is a little better than its first release. I still main play KSP 1 in sandbox mode. If you have a problem with parts counts get a part fusion mod and combine parts to increase your FPS.

    unfortunately for us, I don’t think we’re what they would consider “significant”

        I know, and game support has definitely increased since its release specifically because of the steam deck (dead by daylight comes to mind), but even so, we’re still a relatively insignificant chunk that isn’t worth the cost to most publishers

    This is like the people who give recipes bad reviews because they swapped the eggs for banana and it didn’t bake right.

      Yeah instead give it 0/10 cause checks random steam review Marver rivals crashing randomly.

      But fuck linux users for rating a game bad cause developers made a deliverate descision to block their system cause “all linux users are cheaters.”

          There is no reason to ever rate a game badly. If it runs poorly or not at all youre the moron for using banana instead of tomato. If you don’t like it cause the game is not good, its your own fault for making a dish following a curry recepie when you hate curry.
