Quoting: CGull"Without going through GZDoom and others"? What's so bad about GZDoom? This makes it sound like they are some kind of torture. People who don't know are going to read this and assume they're horrible.

GZDoom has natively supported Linux for ages. Bethesda had to actively AVOID support for Linux in decades-old DOS games which have excellent Linux-native source ports or could run on Linux-native DOSBox. Clearly, the right move for GamingOnLinux is to portray the Linux option as icky in order to promote Windows software.

The same Bethesda which is censoring historic DOOM wads for political parody about Margaret Thatcher.

Genuinely do you got anything better to do? You’re reading way too much into this. All this is is just them commenting on the default experience becoming as good as the custom experience. We are not at war with Bethesda.

At this rate there might be a 10% Linux market share by the time I leave high school.

Is it just me or does it seem that supposedly “good players” need more special attention than non skilled players? They use their own better keyboards, play on limited competitive modes, and beg game studios to change their games.

Quoting: GuestA lot of these features actually sound inferior than the source ports.

Same with the Quake remasters.

The only advantage is convenience.

The official source ports will never be able to please everyone in a way source ports can.

Quoting: KimyrielleLegally, I can't see initiatives like this going anywhere. Our society seems to ban undesirable business practices only when people start dying, and otherwise let "the market" sort it out. In other words, do nothing and let businesses screw their customers for fun and profit.

That being said, maybe it will create some public pressure on studios that this practice is considered unacceptable by their customers and they need to do better.

I would sign it if I could, but I am not in the EU. I hope everyone there does, though! :)

The way European Citizen’s Initiatives work is if it gets 1 million signatures the EU parliament has to vote on the proposal. And the EU has been pushing for pro consumer tech regulations. They’re why apple finally caved to allow USB C and RCS.
