It's kinda funny how it's almost always the shooters that come with these issues. And okay, I get it that while we're not the 1% anymore, but even at 3% market share we're not enough for developers to care about us. But what truly baffles me is that even Windows users are so readily accepting even the most intrusive crap from publishers, just to play yet another shooter. Except for the looks they are all the same anyway (sorry shooter fans, but it's true).
Some of these developers seem to be actually hostile towards Linux and its users. They view us as hackers and criminals. I've gotten that impression from Bungie and Epic for sure. So unless the Linux user base jumps in size to some huge level all of a sudden to where they are forced to make it available to us by the shareholders, then I don't think we'll ever see their games on Linux.

And yeah, It's pretty much been shooters only. I only play single player shooters, so its not been a problem for me. Now, if MMOs start doing this then that will be a different story. I don't know what I'd do if Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft started blocking Linux.

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
