Note that WCOS is not Windows S.
That is hilarious. They're literally selling... Linux. The Linux paradigm. All the best Linux features. (Closed platform bits aside) Brilliant.
That's exactly what I think!
Agreed, To me it looks like MS are going to make a Win distro basically.

Valve has boosted their Linux ranks by hiring another developer to work on open source graphics

Thing is though, My existing thrusmaster F430 wheel was supported in F1 2015 + others, In F1 2017 it is not. I refuse to buy another wheel as there is no guarantee that this will be supported in upcoming titles !

/end rant

Side note, You suck with a wheel just as much as with a controller:P

I feel like I should chip in and say something, But!

I really don't give a **** what Microsoft do tbh. Unfortunately the vast majority of the user base will allow them to do as they please like normal. Yes a few will scream but ultimately will cede to MS will

The small number of us that are aware of what they are doing will make no difference in the end.

And before every jumps on me and says "but you should care..blah, blah"

I DON'T CARE BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately!

Quoting: scaineSo we're all "entitled brats" for using Linux? Even if we are, I like to think this readership is above belittling others for their views.

As for a reputation of not paying our way, that's because Linux is free, not because a percentage of Linux users oppose DRM. Either way, it's long refuted by the HiB sales and irrelevant when you're throwing insults around.
Seriously! Is that what you took from my post :huh: Please re read what I posted!

Quoting: ThorstenFolkersWe rely on some Steam matchmaking features for the online Multiplayer and also copy-protection. So a DRM-free version is possible in the future but is not something we are working towards at the moment.

Thanks!

Thank you for your response! Sadly, I'm not interested anymore and will pass. Good luck!
Stop the production and drop the project, he is not interested anymore!!

OMG LOL. "DRM free" kids are so entitled.
Belittling others for having an unpopular ethos or opinion is EXACTLY why all Linux users get such a hard time on the Steam forums when asking for a Linux port.

Please don't be like them.
Yes but we read the same thing all the time, I as other have no objection in anyone asking but with responses like,
Thank you for your response! Sadly, I'm not interested anymore and will pass
They just come across as can entitled brat and just annoys others and more than likely the devs too. It's also the reason for the premise of Linux users don't want to pay their way, That's why linux users get the hard time on most non linux forums especially steam.
