Quoting: LinuxerWould even buy games from GOG but as long as there's no official Linux client, guess what GOG? All da monis go to Steam and Valve.

TBH, given the quality of open clients, i wouldn't even call that a requirement anymore.
What i would expect at the very least is support and official endorsement for those clients though. Maybe through donations and/or API-adaptations that they might need.
Plus it needs to be easier for the Gamedevs to keep their repos in Sync - last i heard, it was WAY more effort to update a game on GoG than it is on steam - hence why many games that have a Linux-Version on Steam don't have it on GoG or lack timely updates for the linux build...

But as long as GoG basically scoffs at Linux and doesn't lift a finger, i'm out - as much as i would love to support DRM-Free. The fact that it took them several years to finally say 'not gonna happen' to the wish for a linux-galaxy speaks volumes...

The fact they don't even seem to do any - however basic it may be - testing on linux really is laughable...

They really saw how well perceived and issue-free origin atop of steam is and thought to themselves: well, that looks like something the customers would LOVE us to do too!

Well, go F yourself then, still won't buy your shit if you pull that nonsense that literally has not one single benefit while bringing a whole load of potential and real drawbacks/problems with it.

But probably enough 'i don't care' people will throw money at them to show them we gamers don't care if we are f'ed over...

Quoting: slaapliedjeThat being said, for some dumb reason, Ubisoft Connect times out after I've played it so long and just logs me out (even after telling it again and again to keep me logged in.) so if I want cloud sync to work, I have to re-login with all my credentials and 2fa after I play it for sessions longer than whatever that time out is... Then I upgraded to Windows 11. Now it keeps me logged into Ubisoft Connect, but the game locks up when I try to quit it. I can't win...

That is EXACTLY the bullshit i'm talking about...^^

Quoting: Guestits just a less than a drop in the ocean for them, they won't notice and they won't care.

Of course - as long as enough people still buy that crap, it won't bother them. But to just 'fuck it' because of that is about as clever as to say 'fuck it' to climate conscience behavior because your actions are just a drop in the ocean...

The only way to get rid of such bullshit is to vote with your wallet. So boycotting EA is the only right thing to do ^^

Quoting: poiuzWith 2560x1600 you're forced to use fractional scaling at a "relative" low resolution (e.g. Apple is closer to 4K, too).

With 2560x1600 you are not forced to use scaling at all. But your point isn't invalid, haven't thought of that.
Still, i think the vast majority would prefer 165hz 1600p over meager 60hz 4k that is scaled down to 1080p ;)

Quoting: Purple Library Guypretty dashed expensive

i must say - for what is offered i was rather surprised the price isn't considerably higher.

Why the fuck would you want 4k on a 16" screen? Especially as fractional scaling isn't exactly issue-free yet either...
Other than that, it indeed looks like a nice little machine!

Quoting: adolsonI don't even understand why it's allowed on Steam to have these intermediate launcher things. .

It is allowed because there are enough people dumb enough to still buy it.
This whole fiasko is a perfect example on why a secondary launcher without any purpose should be 100% boycotted.
Secondary launchers like for example from paradox that provide modding functionality are borderline acceptable, everything else should die and burn in hell.

Quoting: KimyrielleEA doesn't care about anything that's not Windows or console. revenue

There, fixed it for you ;)

Funny enough, the menu bar ingame alone causes a landslide of nostalgia... xD
