Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code

The fact that it’s a top 10 seller on steam deck for years and they just fucked over everyone on Linux, they deserve it. We all paid them and they completely screwed all of us. I feel so cheated. I only run Linux and I have a steam deck. I left a bad review on steam and I contacted their support from all my rockstar accounts, but it’s not enough. Battleye is compatible with Linux, they just had to send an email, but rockstar keeps lying that it’s not compatible.

Even if it’s not compatible, “ok then where’s my damn refund?”
Basically theft, really.

You can request a refund. An earlier post last week said they are offering refunds for rug-pulled players.

One important thing to add is that the refund is offered by Valve, not by Rockstar.

I guess Valve being the escrow, they may hold future revenue payout from sale of other R* games

Well at least that’s good tbf.

I was thinking this, because that’s what Facepunch did when they stopped Linux support. If you had played Rust at all on Linux, regardless of hours, you were eligible for a refund.

I still blame valve a lot for this. Their TOS offer us no protection. Publishers should not be able to retroactively lock down a game. Diminishing the game performance or adding unwanted DRM after purchase should be a refundable offense. People choose whether or not to buy games based on properties like these.

Valve has consistently offered refunds in these scenarios. They’re offering them for GTA V, and they also offered refunds for Monster Hunter when Capcom decided to switch their DRM bullshit and broke it on the Steam Deck. I think Valve has done their part.

Valve is going beyond any point in comparison to any other software company I know.
