Comment on Epic Win against Google
specseaweed@lemmy.world 10 months agoSure. But in the context of Epic claiming that Google is a bad guy for telling Epic to pound sand, Epic telling video game owners who have owned a game for years to get fucked is a bad look.

In the post I linked, they talk about issuing refunds and that the game is played well via Proton, so I wouldn’t classify that as telling the users to get effed. And again, it’s not unheard of for games and software to no longer support specific operating systems after a while. If you’re a Windows 7 user, your whole Steam library would become unavailable unless you switch. Sure, you can upgrade, but a Linux player of Rocket League can also switch to the Proton/Wine version, which is even less drastic.

This is a really boring direction of conversation. It’s boring to talk about the false equivalency regarding a decade old OS that the OS maker themselves don’t support vs Linux today. It’s boring to debate the finer points of continuing support in games. It’s boring to talk about Epic outsourcing work to Proton.
But I really hope you find someone that finds it interesting. Good luck.
