Quoting: scaineThat's not really particularly fair here. Someone has to pay for multiplayer servers to run. And the core game itself remains playable here, it's only the MP elements that are going away.

Well, with a FOSS-Game there wouldn't be proprietary, unreleased server-side bits so that nobody is able to host their own server ;)

Well, i don't really have any problem with Bungie being more than dead for me...

When i saw that part in the video i just thought "i would bite my ass if i was THAT guy" xD

It seems they are finally back from their very long vacation and start to actually further develop the game - about time and very nice xD

VERIFIED: 45 games (5.13%)
PLAYABLE: 35 games (3.99%)
UNSUPPORTED: 20 games (2.28%)
UNKNOWN: 777 games (88.6%)

Not exactly ideal, but at least "unsupported" is the smallest percentage ^^
Nice site for sure!

Quoting: BeamboomBut to be totally honest here, I have more often than not ended up forcing the Windows version w/proton on the games where there was a native alternative. It simply worked better.

Yeah, that's the case for many older titles with native Linux. Proton for sure isn't the ideal solution, but it is way better than haphazardly put together native builds.
I still prefer a good native version any minute, but proton is a really usable substitute until our marketshare encourages the devs to do properly optimized native builds.
Still - i only buy at (or near) full price if there is either a native version or at least a somewhat official commitment to keep proton working.

It would surely require some getting used to, but i can imagine it might be a nice thing for at least some. TKL is no option for me though, so at least i'm not spoilt for choice ^^

Seeing HW vendors adoption Linux is a great thing though!

QuoteSo, what's the solution to the problem? Here's the thing: I don't think there is one. My personal opinion is that client-side anti-cheat is fundamentally limited and taking it into the kernel is a bandaid that comes with excessive cost and is simply incompatible with the Linux platform

That's the point - client side anticheat is destined to fail if the client isn't under your control. And this even includes Windows. It's no secret that EAC isn't useful to prevent cheats, it's just making it hard enough so the cheat-devs can charge money for their working cheats, thus limiting the adoption.
But of course server side anticheat would require a certain amount of "i care about my userbase", not something Epic (or any of the big publishers for that matter) are known for ^^

On the one hand, Fortnite isn't big loss. On the other hand - spreading such fear is just bullshit. The same bullshit as the claim they would have to give valve 20-30% - it's not apple, if you have your own payment option ingame, 0% of that goes to valve (if i'm not completely mistaken).

It's always the same with Tim's tweets: best to ignore them as 99% is either useless bullshit or fearmongering bullshit...

Yeah, it's a shame seeing a pioneer in native Linux and Vulkan succumb to the dark side :/
