Actually many of us do have issues with the “real life” privacy issues but many may weight it and consider “age verification” (doxing your personal information when it reliably leaks) to be much worse. No matter the implimentation an illegal access or alternative serivce will be much safer.

Does it run on GNU+UWU ?

Without the service what can you use the hardware for? Play the games you already downloaded?

Didn’t we have competive games before matchmaking existed? People used forums… (and met up in person, or something). Don’t route matchmaking to us then but know that we ought to have the option to host it ourselves anyway.

Tarkov was working on Linux and then they added anticheat. Comments were made, iir it would be enabled in the future, but it’s still blocked today.

I’ve seen “we’re working on proton emulation” turn up empty before. Without knowing what they are actully working on I do not see any meat on the bone.

What exactly are they working on?

Are you implying “exempt from the service” means Linux gets blocked?

“Please stop fighting this distopian law”.

What’s the reason?

When do you see Linux using more resources?

Just watched a rescent video comparing Mint and Windows loading some games and it looked like Linux was always lower as Windows starts the race allocating more.

"Torvalds is known for vocally disagreeing with other developers on the Linux kernel mailing list. Calling himself a “really unpleasant person”, he explained, “I’d like to be a nice person and curse less and encourage people to grow rather than telling them they are idiots. I’m sorry—I tried, it’s just not in me.” - Wikipedia

I’ve felt I should walk away since I heard his views on GPLv2 vs GPLv3… and his infamous lack of compassion when communicating with others.

I’m interested using GNU Hurd as an alternative to Linux, eventually.

And this is to go even futher beyond:

Ownership of software must include the right to maintain and repair it so it can continue to work - not only while the copyright holder’s servers says so. To be able to remove any digital locks as you would do to any physical lock found in your house. To do this we need the source code, and since not everyone is a programmer we need the right to share changes with others.

Support open source/software freedom respecting games!

Move it out of core and into an optional extention.

Of course if the code base respected user’s software freedom then others can maintain in your place.

Looks like an EvE profile image.

I heard it runs on UWU/Linux

Delay, deflect, deflock.

Are there EU protection laws against forced arbitration?

If they had to write “lifetime means 2 years (or whenever we feel like it)” in big letters above the works “buy” or “purchase” it may affect their “sales”. They can write whatever they want in small print, they shouldn’t have told customers it was buying.
