Nitter link: https://twiiit.com/Pilestedt/status/1761537966034325628 (Now fixed!) Might have to use this link multiple times to find a instance that isn’t rate limited or check the wiki and change the url manually.
I’m playing it on my Linux desktop using Wine/Steam Proton, dunno if that addresses your concerns perfectly…
Ethically it doesn’t, it’d still be supporting financially this scummy practice.
Additionally, all of my windows homies would have the root kit, and tech bros warns their bros of shit like this and to avoid it.
Tech wise, it’s very cool it runs with proton tho, nice going !
On one hand you’re absolutely right. Cheating can and should be dealt with using server side validation tools without needing to use invasive rootkits with spyware-like and keylogger components on our systems.
On the other hand, I’ve been very impressed in Valve spearheading the movement via Proton and the Steam Deck to make Linux users impossible to ignore. There are many approaches that could have had an “Only Steam-Deck compatible” solution, but Valve didn’t go that direction. Now Linux gamers everywhere benefit, and developers don’t lose out from what’s now a significant gaming userbase, many of whom are also technically inclined and willing to bring feedback to the developer.
I’ve been blown away with valves progress. It finally makes Linux viable to a much broader market, in the best ways. Agreed.
I was surprised to learn this a few days ago, and did end up buying it, but its still infuriating that the Devs seem to have chosen the absolute worst path possible for their stated goal of preventing players from artificially having their progression completed. This could’ve been solved in a multitude of different and less invasive ways
I agree with you 100% but you have supported their shitty decision. It only concretes the choice for them, when sales are good.
yeah. wasnt trying to defend myself. I wanna be able to play what my friends are playing just a bit more than I want to stick to my ideals about how invasive videogames should be. im still mad about it anyway.
I completely understand and get it. It’s can definitely be polarizing at times.
