There are games that we cannot play on Linux because of anticheat, which detects wine/proton translation.
How do I tell the company that produces this game that I am interested in playing it on Linux?
The company behind the game I am interested in does not allow any e-mail contact. The only way to contact them is the ticket system. I sent a ticket that I’d like to play it on Linux, but got only a generic response to follow up on news etc.
Maybe if we flooded them with such tickets, they would finally see that it might be worth considering?
What do you think about it?
I really hate this answer, but it may just make sense to run windows. Paying a proprietary game on a foss system has little benefit. For a truly braindead approach, would running the game in a windows vm satisfy current anti cheat tech?
Open your narrow mind just a little bit.
The “truly braindead” approach is what countless people used to do, when you had a couple games you want to play with, but didn’t want to reboot. It used to run phenomenally well, until some companies caught up the ways of detecting it. It’s not even a circumvention method for anything. If you wanted to cheat, you could cheat anywhere.
We don’t play games on Linux to make a point. We play games on Linux because it’s the OS we use.
Lol apologies I was exaggerating for dramatic effect, vms are great for running anything that requires a different os.
To complete/complicate the thought I was having, I use Linux because it’s fun and because it’s free. I like that Linux systems let me use the latest software and let me break things and improve the system. Of course I am also a Microsoft hater and don’t want to buy extra windows licenses out of spite 😹. I would love to run games on Linux, but for non-foss games I play on my Xbox which runs windows. I was thinking that if you’re going to buy a proprietary game, you should plan to buy the system it’s built for. In some cases that’s windows. For me that just means I’m not buying a game I can’t run on an Xbox :/ lol an Xbox one no less.
