In March Linux Proton Users Will No Longer Be Able to Play The Game

[Alenonimo]

Really hope they make the game more Linux-friendly. Steam Deck looks pretty cool and would be neat to play the game on it.

Yeah I feel bad for linux users, only a small % of PC users are having issues but none of you can play at all sadly ( unless you're on PC License not steam ).

I am so happy I dropped Steam back in 2012. TF2 going f2p was the final straw, that and Valve dipping their toes into selling games that already have a launcher built into it set the stage up for these types of messes. GL for those having issues but companies are going to be companies, sorry. :/

I really hope they solve this before Thursday but I'm going to have to warn my static that I probably can't heal pandora savage this week, and I have no idea when I can return.

Like I get that the number of linux users is small, but is our contribution to the game small? Is our value as players small? I don't think so, and I hope that's not how Squaresoft sees it.

Well, you said it yourself. There aren’t many of you. And your value and contribution is small in the grand scheme of things. It’s a tad arrogant to say you are worth more than everyone else, which is what you just done.

They're saying they're worth just as much as everyone else, not that they're worth more. They pay the same amount the rest of us do every month, they should be able actually run and play the game.

Square Enix does not support running the game on the Linux operating system, nor on the new Steam Deck. If there is sufficient revenue that can be attributed to players on those platforms they could consider it in the future. Linux users would do well to provide evidence demonstrating the value of that revenue before complaining.

stop being a hipster and use a real OS like Windows 10 or 11

I'm sure Gabe Newell is working day and night to make it compatible.

[Breakbeat]

Aww. I feel quite sad for all 46 of you.

...

Sorry, couldn't resist.
