Email Tim Sweeney and tell him to remove battle-eye anti-cheat from fortnite and then receive an email back saying NO because we got paid so much money to spy on wincucks LOL!
Levi Parker
Honestly all we need is more game developers making Linux compatible versions of games and then we are all set.
Kevin Rogers
Definitely worth it to reach the percent of a percent that actually plays games and uses Linux. And definitely super easy to just make that work.
Angel Bell
Don't be a dick
Luis Kelly
Buy Linux ports like ROTTR direct from porting houses like Feral's store
Bentley Rodriguez
Linux has entered platform wars. Play your part in it.
Lincoln Bailey
Install Windows
Alexander Taylor
>implying it's not super easy to make that work
maybe if you are using some engine that works by having sex with Windows kernel. UT4, Unity, Godot and even some smaller engines all very easily build for Linux.
Parker Johnson
It's pretty good if you use a rolling release distro (for the updated GPU drivers) + PlayOnLinux. For brand new titles however, it's not great.
Jack Martin
Some gamedevs complain about case sensitivity in filenames. There is no winning here.
Cooper Allen
Teach other people how to use Linux and WINE to play games
>case sensitivity
I bet they are macfags
David Howard
by making stable versions of unity and unreal engine for linux. then game devs can use linux and will be more compelled to make linux compatible games.

You know how everybody is throwing a hissy fit with #DeleteFacebook because Cambridge Analytica used their data to help Trump? Suddenly everyone started to give a shit that Facebook was harvesting personal data. Even though it was known about for over 10 years now.
Someone just needs to find a way to tie Windows 10 analytics to Trump. Maybe normies will start giving a fuck
Andrew Stewart
I've been using both those engines just fine in Linux. UE4 needs to be compiled from source, which is annoying since it takes 2 hours, but there's no problem otherwise.
Ian Morales
I mean Windows 10 is already in a negative light so much that Valve said "fuck it, focus more on Linux/Steam OS and mac"
With how things are going with windows, Normies and soon companys are gonna have to look to alternatives to play games and use software
Ian Howard
They will just move to Macs if that happens.
Robert Davis
Its already quite playable, and in the future with even better gpu passthrough capabilities it has a good chance of replacing Windows, which is why Windows is pouring money into Linux projects trying to control them
You could switch over to linux now, tons of distros and DE's that are newbie friendly, like Gnome or KDE
Alexander Torres
I loved how that was trending on Twitter when Twitters data was involved too. These plebs don't realise everything they post on Facebook/Twitter is public and used by "big data"
Wyatt Ramirez
That's still a win. More developers will use OpenGL or Vulcan instead of the vendor-locked DirectX. It's 10x easier to port from Mac to Linux than Windows to Linux.
Caleb James
you install solitaire to your thinkpad
Matthew Richardson
Has any game surpassed robotfindskitten on Linux yet?
Parker Stewart
This
Most games that have a Mac port, almost always have or can make a Linux port effortlessly
Elijah Fisher
>mfw devs choose to use fucking Metal
Austin Hughes
We start by drawing and quartering Bill Gates.
Michael Lopez
You can start by installing linux and switching to it full time to create an audience. Yelling for linux compatibility from a windows machine will do nothing.
Cooper Adams
Share your desktops pls.
Andrew Williams
Wow man what a contribution! It is so interesting to look at others' desktops, keep it up!
Grayson Edwards
OK

>And definitely super easy to just make that work.
Actually it is. With Windows dev work you're pretty much locked into a very specific and bloated toolset. On Linux you have a lot more freedom to work in a way that's less convoluted and easier to manage. I know what you're thinking, ooga booga command line too complicated. But no, if you do any dev work, it's much much easier to have all your tools in one place than it is to dig through the bloated Visual Studio/.NET mess
Hunter Brooks
>Bethesda, Blizzard, and From games don't have linux ports
literally would solve a majority of the issue if this were the case. wine works for some of these games but not the newest ones
Logan Sanchez
>Bethesda, Blizzard
Shit taste faggot detected. Keep that SJW shit on Windows please
Ryan Perez
I dont even like nu-blizzard games. I'm just saying it would make a lot more people happy to switch.
Jason Cox
Blizzard is the biggest asshole in this one since Hearthstone is a Unity game. Literally all they need to do is click export to Linux in the editor.
Charles Russell
Only game company that could help us win platform wars is Valve... which is kinda sad.
Zachary Jenkins
>using this atheist mess, instead of TempleOS
Save your souls, Sup Forums.
Tyler Nelson
If one man indie devs can do it so can multimillion dollar companies
Joseph King
Valve doesnt give a shit anymore
Adrian Watson
LOL
Jaxon Rivera
Hi Terry
Jackson Johnson
What the fuck happened to Source 2?
For fuck sake GabeN, seriously that's all I ask. You guys can stop making anything after that.
Connor Ramirez
Source 2 comes with its killer game.
And Valve doesnt release anything until its scientifically proven that their game is objectively the best game ever in everyones minds.
Jeremiah Wright
>Source 2?
Card games

Luis Martin
what's up with everyone starting calling other reddit again so often and feels proud of it.
just call him a nigger or faggot with gigantic clitoris or something..
Jeremiah Wilson
I'm fucking sure they said it will be free of charge, royalty free, cross-platform, you can code it using Hebrew, ultimate game engine. Now all we get is a goddamned moba and card game.
