You are forgetting:

• you have the moral obligation to pirate all creative works.

If you think this meme is a depiction of something worth blocking all Linux communities over, then we are not on the same page. I was just poking fun.

This is what using Lemmy feels like sometimes.

I hope it comes out the other end of all this as a better product. It would be terrible for the Marathon name to go from admired obscurity, the OG FPS to “oh, that game that crashed and burned before release?”

Of course it is. That’s not my point. My point was Microsoft is tasteless to include it in the app name.

People mock App as a Mac thing, iOS thing. But it was never part of the actual app name. Just a file extension.

This is nonsense.

Do you think a court could force Apple to allow any and all software in the App Store? In other words, it’s not Apple’s decision who they do business with?

Bungie had similar problems with Destiny 2, if I remember correctly.

Bungie commented on the current issue an hour ago.

They do, but this is a compatibility problem first and foremost. And as a Mac user since the 90s, that’s glaringly obvious to me.

It sucks that DRM is the wrench in the gears of Proton. But the game doesn’t have official support.

I agree that DRM is stupid. There are plenty of examples these days where DRM went away and nothing fell apart. iTunes Music Store, GoG, region free discs.

Still clinging to DRM is regressive. And they are hypocritical, because DRM like the one this post deals with are regularly removed from the game after a period of time.

DRM doesn’t work.

I’m not supporting any particular game or constellation of software. Just noticing the entitlement in the thread, and across Lemmy.

When people act entitled to pirate something, that’s when I think things are off the rails. They act like it’s their right to obtain other peoples work.

Invasive DRM is shitty. And it’s a bummer software does not easily work on all platforms. But no one is automatically entitled to a copy of someone else’s labor.

You know who else acts entitled to copies of other people’s labor? The AI companies.

Should every game be forced to support your chosen platform? I don’t see Mac users acting like this.

People really abuse that new and very useful word. It diminishes the usefulness.

I wonder what this is good for, on a practical level. Not a fucking around level.

We have had typing indicators for 25 years now.

Good news for those who are into the current generation of GB.

That’s how projects go. But I bet it happens faster when enthusiasm for a game has the curve this title did.
