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

Just to explain the completely warranted deluge of downvotes to you: Using Linux doesn’t mean that you’re cheating and the anti-cheat solution they’re using has Linux support, they simply opted to not enable it. I’m not in the loop when it comes to GTAV but usually cheating software isn’t even available for Linux.

The onus isn’t on them to cater to everyone. If it can’t be used using Linux, deal with it like a grown up and find something else to do.

But you’re not going to justify DDoS attacking a company because you don’t like that you’re excluded from their product.

These people need to grow the fuck up. The real world doesn’t give a shit about what they think they’re owed- which is nothing by the way.

This shit just makes me hate the arrogance of Linux users that much more.

  Gazillions of people have been playing on Linux, in particular on the Steam Deck, for ages. Those are paying customers. They pulled the plug on that without warning and without need, technical or otherwise, people are pissed. Depending on jurisdiction, Rockstar might be in for at least refunds.
  
  I don’t condone ddos’ing either and what I also don’t condone is you saying “oh the only reason people are pissed is because they can’t cheat”. Now that is, if I’m charitable, ignorant, and allthewhile you have the gall to accuse others of arrogance. Nuanced my ass to be that you’d first have to acknowledge basic contextual facts about the matter. Getting downvoted is also not “the ignorant sheeple not understanding your brilliance”. Get your head out of your arse.

    I don’t give a fuck what their reason is. Whether it’s cheating or the plug was pulled on them.
    
    There’s no reason to act like fucking spoiled little entitled children. No one involved in this childish shit is a victim.
    
    Stop excusing this bullshit.

    Is there, in your mind, any situation in which any consumer can ever legitimately complain about the practices of any business, or is it all whining?
