This really isn’t a W. Even though I don’t play any of these games, Ive had friends who have had a real interest in switching to Linux, but didn’t because they couldn’t play LOL or Valorant.
It’s not really linux’s fault by any means, but it’s no W.
Yea it’s a joke
The joke is that those games suck so bad that even having the option to play them on any form of Linux would make said OS worse
That’s like wanting to try vaping to help you stop smoking but never doing it because you can’t find nicotine vapes that taste that specific burning shit flavor you’re used to.
They can keep that shit on windows. The anti cheat will probably evolve to include AI bullshit like nanny assistants to make sure you’re using your computer like a human is supposed to and live facial identify verification to make sure you’re watching the anti cheat ads they’ll start playing when you die.
LoL specifically may be for the best. I don’t know anyone who got into that game in a healthy way or thought they enjoyed it in retrospect after switching to a new game.
CoD and CS with super powers sure but not League of Legendary Toxicity
Even if they did work, no way I would ever use kernel level anticheat
DenuvOwO got your back if I am not mistaken
If they did, maybe their communities would be less toxic.
As a former MOBA enjoyer, IMO MOBA games inherently rage bait their players and make toxicity inevitable long term regardless of whose playing.
I’m seeing a bunch of toxicity in the milsim Arma. But based on a recent interaction, that has more to do with cross play with PlayStation users than anything else.
I haven’t played Arma in nearly ten years. The community, even in DayZ (mod) used to be relatively chill. Especially compared to more fast paced shooters. I can only remember one person I seriously would prefer die slowly and painfully who I met in Arma.
The mod was primetime for multiplayer etiquette.
Sure it descended into KoS shit-talking from time to time, but it was still miles better than any large gaming community.
CoD probably. League… lol. LMAO even
Ironic that this post is in itself being toxic to people that enjoy the titles mentioned.
I enjoy cod and lol and even Fortnite but cannot play them on Linux. I’m sad that I can’t enjoy the things that I enjoy. I still play league on my MacBook but it’s annoying having to switch systems for one game. I would love to be able to play ** any ** game of my choosing and not be harassed about it.
Try getting help for trivial Linux issues and you have a 50/50 chance of having a Linux elitist eat you alive for not already knowing what they know. RTFM and scoffing.
Linux has the same toxic ratio of users that the games this post is pointing out.
The reason those games aren’t on Linux is because of horrendous security overreach, and if they did work it would mean something, somewhere has been compromised in order to make that possible. I’m thankful they don’t work because the last thing I want is for game devs to have kernel-level access to my machine so they can dictate what I’m allowed to do on my computer.
I don’t think that’s what the user is asking for though. I read it as wishing that the games didn’t have those security requirements, so that they could play the games on Linux.
The joke in the meme isn’t “thank you to Linux maintainers for not compromising security”, its a joke about those games themselves.
Also their point about toxicity is valid, and I’ve found that it varies by distro. Without being specific, in case I just had a bad experience, some support communities were very hostile to users asking questions. If the new person didn’t phrase their question perfectly, using all the correct terminology, the support person refused to answer the question. It was a thread of “You said X, but X actually means Y, so I don’t understand your question. Did you mean Z”, when it is obvious from context what they meant.
Thanks for understanding 🙏
As an ex league addict I do think that league makes people worse and I hope Riot’s CEO will hang.
The problem is that games like LoL or Valorant are kinda made so that you “need” to have a dedicated LoL PC. You’re not supposed to install these games on your main PC. Because these games are so highly competitive with real cash prizes involved, the devs ask for more control over your PC than typical games. It’s not a Windows vs Linux thing, it’s about control.
I’m not condoning this practice but it helps to understand why the situation is like this.I get turned on by control. That’s why I’m permenantly erect in this Heaven of a police state we’re creating.
Dota 2 is working totaly fine so whats up about that 😐?
deleted by creator
It’s too different compared to lol
And no FIFA or whatever the fuck it is called now
I play COD on Linux, just older ones that have mod tools.
Call of Duty: UO runs fine on Linux if you use an older version of Proton. It’s the best CoD game anyway
WAW has Redline though
But Stellar Blade also doesn’t work and I really like the… erm… battles !
I played through all of Stellar Blade on Linux and it has a platinum rating on protonDB
Oh my bad then, I guess that I figured that since it had Denuvo then it wouldn’t work ! I guess it’s really time that I shrunk my Windows partition and go full Linux
These games do some SCP-level containment for everyone sane in this hobby.
I wanted to play Fortnite again but after seeing Epic to approve the AI Slop in their shop, I deleted my account and never looked back.
I do however wish I could play rust, tarkov(less so these days), HUNGER, and battlefield 1, but I can deal without those things I guess.
why, otherwise you’d play it?
personally, I’m crushed that marvel tokon will not work on Linux :(
maybe if they did we could break 5% market share to 6!
