This is a fantastic addition to the store page that I'm sure will cut down the number of refunds valve staff have to deal with. I wonder if publishers will complain about this transparency impacting their sales ...

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I really hope they do complain, because that'd be great confirmation for anyone considering adding this shit that it does in fact impact sales.

EA: complains 2 months later

Hopefully this encourages developers and publishers to re-evaluate kernel level anything.

Sadly i don't think it has any impact. For example, for Riot games no one complained about Vanguard except Linux gamers.

I didnt buy Helldivers 2 because of it. Explained why to all my friends who kept trying to convince me to buy it. I didn’t convince them, they didn’t convince me… but hey I appreciate the warning in the future.

Funnily enough it was HD2 that finally convinced a few of my friends to hop on over the Linux

[–] Cashmere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, i mean it's not useless to make it visible. It's a good news in the end.

Meanwhile hd2 runs just fine under Linux, without kernel fuckery.

Plenty of others complained, the difference was just that they could swallow the pill and keep playing. Linux players were just fucked.

[–] Cashmere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

True ! But now we have an excuse to play better games

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago

Valve continues to do the minimum to keep it's users happy, and that's 100x better than than the industry standard. Tiny steps but in the right direction.

This will make the boycott against the games that dont work on Linux easier.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Don't they already do that?
