Quoting: tuubiHeck , I'd play FOSS games with you anytime.

Which certainly would be... err... Sudoku? :).
State of the FOSS games is - at best - somewhere between the times of win98/xp (sad but true - they're no way near of those proprietary ones)

Dang, I have nearly 1000 hours of playtime, several DLCs and two recent RocketPass purchased... and now I see how my money has been used. Ironically they will support a system that is just becoming dead already... to share the shining new technology among ALL the players...

At the beginning of the past year I thought the situation looked far more brighter in terms of playing on linux, but we've lost more that we've gained it seems, since the Rocket League is not the only one that dropped support.

Isn't it hypocrisy that Epic has awarded lutris?

Also I have nothing against social petition. What's the difference if they will actually show us the middle finger, if they have already done so. Let them know. It's like we all agree if nothing is done. Screaming and shouting is not a solution, however is always good to show our dissapointment.

Yes they are old.
But what game can we say for sure will still be usable.
Closed source games can stop working on new systems and without access to source code, reverse engineering takes a whole team of dedicated people.
FOSS , even if severly lacking in the graphic department will still be there. And game complexity/story/comptetive play / enjoyment is not strictly tied to graphics. They help but they are not mandatory.
That said , this is one big blow back , not the end.
As i said in my earlier post a canary in the coal mine. Epic might try to be even more restrictive.
Streaming was a good alternative to TV while only a couple of services were there. Now there are what 8 providers each with exclusive rights ? Right back to cabletv.
Same for gaming. Steam and GOG were great. Now everyone has a client EA , EPIC , Activision-Blizzard etc. It's no longer easy and comfortable.
We Linux people are just the warning of things to come , more stores , more exclusivity to force consumers in the direction they want - just my two cents.

Quoting: tuubiRocket League is pretty much the only online multiplayer game I play with my friends, and (for that reason) my most played game on Steam.

Hey Epic, I know I suck at being social, but do you really have to make it even harder for me? :(

We'll find you something else buddy ;-)

I know man, I know. Thanks. The problem is, I really am not that social. Online games stress me out, even with friends. Rocket league is/was somehow different. I could just relax and do a few quick rounds. 550+ hours worth of quick rounds so far.

But I guess I should look for something else.

Old School Runescape ?
The Runelite client works out of the box.
And socializing is the only thing you do on that.
It sure as hell is not the grinding.
Though it does have charm and the quests are actually interesting (thoguh you have to grind up some skills to do them)

This feels like a canary in the coal mine in some way.
All of the warnings about centralized servers , no LAN or private servers , etc.
Seems this can hit any game any time
And for the people mentioning Tencent , they are still spreading their web of "transactions" and "aquisitions"

I miss the old days.
Game was released (maybe had a patch later), focus was single player , you had LAN and could play with private servers.
Now games are online , focus is multiplayer and publishers decide how the game is played and it is on their whim what will happen next.

Maybe I'll end up just reading books as a hobby as I grow older /sarcasm

Quoting: razing32Does the counter go down when you are not playing ?

"...you don't even need to play it to get to the ending" seems to imply that it does, and you can just play once then come back a little over a year later and you'll have won.

Better question then.
Is there a way to loose ??

Porting the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 would be cool.
But as i recall the Witcher 2 left a very bad taste in CD Projeckt Red's mouth.

Fallout 4 or Skyrim EE would be nice, but I would be happier if OpenMW grows to encompass them.

Anti Cheat systems would be great since those seem to be causing headaches all around.

Disco Elysium might be interesting.
Children of Morta looks cool.
Also heard good things about Greedfall

Do not have high hopes for big AAA publishers allowing their games to be ported.

Is there a speed up mechanic ?
Otherwise this might be a chore to play.
Interesting experiment with time mechanics , sure , but still a chore.

Quoting: GuestYeah, they

Quoting: razing32Sound and atmosphere look on point.
My only gripe is if this is the old Myst style control where you teleport from place to place.
I would prefer free moving WASD style.

From the video, they seem to use 360° mapped pictures, so movement is not really an option.

I may give it a go when i see it on sale or so.
Just not my thing , that's all.
