Hopefully this encourages developers and publishers to re-evaluate kernel level anything.
Sadly i don’t think it has any impact. For example, for Riot games no one complained about Vanguard except Linux gamers.
I didnt buy Helldivers 2 because of it. Explained why to all my friends who kept trying to convince me to buy it. I didn’t convince them, they didn’t convince me… but hey I appreciate the warning in the future.
Meanwhile hd2 runs just fine under Linux, without kernel fuckery.
This is a fantastic addition to the store page that I’m sure will cut down the number of refunds valve staff have to deal with. I wonder if publishers will complain about this transparency impacting their sales …
I really hope they do complain, because that’d be great confirmation for anyone considering adding this shit that it does in fact impact sales.
EA: complains 2 months later
This will make the boycott against the games that dont work on Linux easier.
