Just saw the Ars Technica article on this, and it included this lovely section:
As detailed in the r/macgaming subreddit and at r/SteamDeck, many players who successfully got Marvel Rivals working would receive a “Penalty Issued” notice, with a violation “detected” and bans issued until 2124. Should such a ban stand, players risked entirely missing the much- prophesied Year of the Linux Desktop or Mainstream Mac Gaming, almost certain to happen at some point in that span.
I can’t believe they can ban people from the Year of the Linux Desktop.
As the glow of civilization fades to the last ember, a single player still stands, still plays, and he uses a linux distribution which name has been forgotten to time.
It is the year of the linux desktop.
Yeah, those absolute monsters.
Should such a (100 year) ban stand, players risked entirely missing the much- prophesied Year of the Linux Desktop or Mainstream Mac Gaming, almost certain to happen at some point in that span.
Lol. Harsh, but fair.
Like Fusion the year of Linux is always next year. It will be next year forever.
I still don’t know what type of game Rivals is
NetEase
Turns out I also don’t care
Care to explain what’s wrong with it?
I’m not the person you replied to.
Netease is a Chinese company and some people don’t like that. They have also been known to make scummy, cash grab, micro transaction riddled games and are disliked for this.
It’s not that they’re a Chinese company in and of itself it’s simply that every Chinese company that has ever been involved in technology, see Eufy, always turns out to be a scam / privacy invasion nightmare.
Isn’t eufy part of Anker? The battery and cable company?
they are everything that is wrong with mobile games turned up to 11
That’s so refreshing to see.
Apex also did this a couple times, until they just disabled Linux support
Not really. EA sometimes made changes that broke Linux or Steam Deck support. It was Valve (and probably others to be fair) who fixed it couple of times.
