    Why do I feel like giving this a month will make all of this irrelevant?

    but this is a crime against God, humanity, gaming and anime!!!

    I get it, your favorite game doesn’t work because of a new release. It happens. Take a ticket and sit down for a while. Valve isn’t omniscient about every Linux build in existence or possible glitch on the first week of release.

    Hell, TF2 has been broken on arch for almost a month without bypassing a .dll file.

      I remember when games launched and generally could be expected to run, because easy patching wasn’t a thing yet. They had to make sure that the games worked.

      I don’t like that this has moved to “well, it’s just the first day, week, month, give them time to fix the game.” No! When the game releases and people pay money for it, it should work!

        To be fair, at the time games were made to target a single system, not a myriad of them.
