  • As an American who can't bear to play most online games because they might go down or disallow Linux users, please please please please check. EU laws are our only hope of having usable fucking technology.

    The thought of being able to mod and host my own GTA 5 online server when it goes down, without some weird custom server mod that also uses Windows-exclusive anti-cheat on most servers, sounds like a damn dream. I miss that game... but fuck Windows, nothing is worth installing Windows. I just realized I've been ranting about the lack of Linux compatibility of GTA 5 Online in reply to someone's comment about how this petition has gone on for a while. I swear I wasn't hijacking your comment, I just have strong feelings about Linux gaming and got carried away.

  • While Napster did get decked hard a long while ago, it's still a well known cultural icon, so some company was inevitably going to buy the rights to its branding/trademarks after it ate dirt to attract attention to whatever product they decide to slap it on.

    The same thing kinda happened to Atari. That company got burned to a crisp by Nintendo and Sega after the 2600, but some nobodies bought it and things keep having the Atari logo even today because it was a well known brand. It sucked ass and failed... but we remember it.

  • It's pretty obvious by now that knowing someone is doing wrong is only half the battle. Or more like 10% of it. In the US there's ridiculous healthcare costs, data brokering, tax cuts for the rich - like 90% of Americans know about these things, and yet nothing is done.

  • We're doing what we can, and that's a whole lot more valuable than sitting around and talking about what we should do when we can't at the moment.

    Please, tell us your plan to dismantle capitalism that requires us to blindly consume Harry Potter media.

    Just because there's an underlying issue doesn't mean that it's pragmatic to hyperfocus on it and ignore the more immediate issues. If I have cancer, I'm not gonna stop eating fruit because I really need to focus on fighting the cancer and my other health-conscious activities need to be put on hold. That's not how responding to problems works.

  • And yet, they still think they're too good to put track pads on it.

    I don't think these companies are aware that what made the deck popular was it knew what it was and that it had a lot to prove, and so it featured a very focused design that differentiated it from PCs as a worthwhile form factor, but also provided methods for adding compatibility to just about any game, and thus allowed it to compensate for being in a form factor that is just sometimes inherently inconvenient for PC gaming. It wasn't just a gaming pc with an Xbox controller taped to it, which this is.
