  • I'm actually pretty sad reading this after the library and community work you shared recently. We'll need more folks like you to stick around, people that can get positive change done. But also totally understand, need to do what's best for you and loved ones

  • Dongles are usually 2.4ghz radios, supposed to be lower latency and more stable than Bluetooth.

    Edit- in reality though, bluetooth has come a long way and generally more convenient, users likely wouldn't notice a difference in day to day work. Personally I still wouldn't recommend gaming on a bluetooth connection when latency and micro stutters matter.

  • What does matter though is that if we as Linux gamers want them to care, they need to see that Linux users are generating revenue. They're greedy corpos and revenue is all they give a shit about.

    I appreciate you mentioning this, I agree. If linux made a blip on a chart, executives would prioritize figuring out a solution.

  • I'm not sure what your point is? Perhaps I incorrectly assumed this was obvious but yes - if players do not financially support a game, even "free to play" games, those games disappear. There is not a single company on the planet that is going to continue investing in a negative revenue project for funsies. The teams working on the game are relocated to other projects or laid off, and the game shuts down.

    If you believe I'm in the wrong for supporting a game that, until this point, was friendly to linux - then so be it.

  • Counterpoint - Devs need to eat. Especially devs that are thoughtful enough to enable their anti-cheat to work on Linux. So yeah, they had my attention, my support, and my money. In return I got to play a fun game and rock some cool skins and accessories - it certainly seemed like a win-win. Now they've retroactively backed out of their support, and I'd like to back out mine as well.
