Quoting: SpykerA bit too shady for me to test it now.
I'll wait until it's properly open-sourced.

Just run it inside a container or whatever people use for security these days. I don't really do this myself as I only use a very specific selection of software atm, but it should prevent the app from backdooring into your real filesystem. (assuming they'd do something like that, which I'd highly doubt)

Also I wonder how this works since allot of PS4 titles required updating online to play; I guess that can work if it connects to a PS4 account but no doubt Sony would ban any attempts at online multiplayer.

It's a shame really that Sony doesn't endorse such projects; it be nice to see a Sony Online store for PC and Linux just like how Microsoft has captured so many people with their Xbox Game Pass for PC deal. Which btw is blocked from running under Linux... walled gardens are just crap imo!

With the level of telemetry data hoovering going on under Windows OS's, NOBODY should be paying for the stupid OS! NOBODY!

Quoting: BrisseIt's by design and very deliberate. It's how they make money. To be frank, IMO it's a disgusting business model.

I'd be more ok with it as a f2p model if it wasn't just price gouging on dubious returns. You pay $60usd for a tank, just a tank, or plane... its just a giant ripoff really. Meanwhile the Russians pay like 1/4th that price....

Just not interested in such tactics any more; even world of tanks is/was more reasonable.

I heard VAC doesn't work either via proton, but I don't know which games use that. (counterstrike?)

Haven't played this for months. Kind of got tired of the grind; I do have premium vehicles but without the premium account it just takes too much time to even earn silver in this game to afford all the new vehicles.

Doubt it will ever change.

How long/big is this game meant to be? I've heard people say they beat the EA in around 4hrs which is ultra short even if its not full content yet! (heard EA was like 75% of the game).

I really am not a fan of Take-2 or RS. Mainly because of this sort of BS and also the fact they continue to put casino's essentially directly into their games.

Not saying they don't make great games; its just hard to enjoy the fruit when its handed to you by the devil himself... :-)

This trend MAY continue if Valve promise on their whole more games will work and also all anticheat statement by the time Steam Decks come out, even if its initially on SteamOS3. If they fall flat and say, oops, sorry we can't do any of that... well it will go back to under %1 in no time!

Patents are how innovation dies! Just basic ideas shouldn't be patentable such as back pedals on a controller or buttons in general, or even shapes!

On top of this, patents shouldn't be used as a method for stopping companies from making and selling products, there MUST always be a FAIR avenue of licensing ideas. And have limits to how long licenses must be paid for.

It's just all gone completely upside down the whole patent system, if this continues, in the future mega companies will own all ideas to ever exist and halt human progress dead in its tracks with endless legal battles! (ok that's a little extreme, but we are inching toward that end!)

I prefer just punching in 1's and 0's in order to install Arch. Sure it takes me around 5 years but it sure makes my farts smell nice..

j/k

I use this to install Arch because I'm lazy and don't like typing crap into console either (and because I make allot of typo's and have a blackhole in my brain!)

It be nice if EGS just had a Linux client and allowed developers to publish Linux versions of their games on said store. That be a good first step really!
