- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

- Including Unix and BSD.

4. No recent reposts

Yes. Because Valve put in a lot of work and convinced EAC to add support and collaborated with them to get it added, only for Epic & Tim Weenie himself to immediately do something bad, spread FUD and other such crap.
Tim Weenie lmfao
Your middle school level insult totally means that you have a well reasoned point instead of fanboying for Valve. Don't you have some loot boxes and gambling targeted towards children from Valve to go to?
Nope, because I don't play those games. Also, Epic literally does that 24/7 with fortnite and other such crap.
I'm not a fanboy for Valve, I don't even play Valve's games. I just recognize that when Tim Weenie fires 1000 employees and then goes "If only we had a few more programmers. It's the Linux problem. ..." that he's talking out his fuckin ass.
I also recognize that Valve has been putting in a shit load of work into bettering the Linux ecosystem via Proton, The Steamdeck, enticing EAC & Battleye into agreeing to collaborate, among their countless contributions to various Linux related open source projects, such as dxvk, vkd3d, wine, the Linux kernel, etc. even if it's a long term investment on their own part.
There's a reason why it's called proton_eac_runtime and not eac_proton_runtime.
You have to be incredibly out of touch or a blatant Epic games fanboy to disregard the facts like that.
Epic does something you like, it's to Valve's credit since Valve did it first. Valve does something you don't like, it's okay since Epic does it even though Valve did it first and popularized it.
At least your logic is as advanced as your insults.
Not at all. EAC gets credit for collaborating with Valve, Valve gets credit for laying the entire ground work allowing for that collaboration to occur in the first place (Proton, Linux Kernel contributions, Steam Deck, and negotiating with EAC).
Wrong, lootboxes are a scourge upon the entire gaming industry no matter who does it. Like I already fucking said I do not play games that have loot boxes in them, let alone any of Valve's games.
Loot boxes is irrelevant to the conversation in the fucking first place, can you stop with the strawman already. The conversation is on Linux game compatibility support, not loot boxes, stop derailing the conversation.
" Oh no someone insulted Big Daddy Tim Sweeney, I better defend him else my Epic bussy plug will slip out!! 😱🥺 "
Lolol are you 12?? Or just trolling? Thanks for the laughs either way
I was leaning towards "out of touch" but now it's become blatantly clear that you're just an epic fanboy.
dude upvotes his own comments with his alt lmao what a loser. Not even worth talking to
