I perfectly understand that Valve Corp. is not my friend. This being clarified:

To me Point 1 and 2 seem to serve as smoke and mirror for point 3 - which may be the actual motivation behind this lawsuit.
I say this because both seem to be very hard to prove if not outright false in my eyes.

And point 3 seems to be much more important to the publishers than to the consumers.

You don’t need a lot of imagination to see this lawsuit as a tool of one market player trying to hurt another while using the consumer as a sort of shield for their shenanigans.

On a personal level I find the whole ordeal ridiculous…

I would have made it white-on-black instead black on white.

Quoting: Liam DaweWorth pointing out at this point too, just like with Helldivers 2, the game has been restricted on Steam with various places unable to buy it due to the PSN requirement for the online mode.

I understand it: places like Greenland, Japan, the baltics like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, city-states like Gibraltar, San Marino, and especially Monaco are rather underdeveloped third-world countries.

Quoting: enigmaxg2Sadly, on Linux you can't play with the minimum requirements (since GTX9 series and 10 series are AWFUL with VKD3D), should be nice if they did a Vulkan version, but they are sticking to DirectCrap12.

There are still the AMD cards as the above indicated exemplary 5500 XT. As far as I know there are no issues with VKD3D on Radeon cards.
I tend to agree with your take on DirectX in general though. Vulkan is just better than Microsoft’s GL - at least just by merit of being free and open-source.

Quoting: benstor214And now I noticed the SteamOS icon, too. I should stop looking at system requirements to determine if there’s a version for Linux…

It's a 2012 game . . . do the system requirements say "potato"?

No, they do include a mail address to contact should one encounter issues though. :smile:

Quoting: Liam DaweLook for the SteamOS icon, it's there. They just don't have system requirements for Linux.

Ah, I see it’s playable. Sometimes the Steam Deck icon is easy to miss in the mobile app
Thanks

Quoting: pbThere is a Linux depot and it was updated today as well.

Quoting: MarrondSo let me get this straight... MILLIONS of people are playing League of Legends and between 1/5 to 1/15 depending on the region is cheating. By their own admission they say Linux playerbase is tiny. They basically say ALL of the cheating is happening on Windows where allegedly Vanguard works better. Sorry, am I missing something here or it's just blatant bullshit talk?

They claim that cheating occurs in 1/15 to 1/5 of matches. These matches are 5v5 so there are 10 players in a match. Only one of them needs to cheat for the match to be tainted.
Your math is off: you would only need a tenth of the cheaters you’re claiming there are for the original claim to be true.
This is for clarification… no offense.
