    This is huge the fact the had to apologize shows the the we are getting to that point where Linux gaming can’t be ignored anymore.

      I disagree and I think you’re undermining how cool it is of the marvel rival Devs specifically for caring about linux players. lots of other games are ignoring linux just fine (I miss gta Online so damn much), ultimately we are still at (last time I checked) like 4% max of the gaming share

    Just saw the Ars Technica article on this, and it included this lovely section:

    As detailed in the r/macgaming subreddit and at r/SteamDeck, many players who successfully got Marvel Rivals working would receive a “Penalty Issued” notice, with a violation “detected” and bans issued until 2124. Should such a ban stand, players risked entirely missing the much- prophesied Year of the Linux Desktop or Mainstream Mac Gaming, almost certain to happen at some point in that span.

      I can’t believe they can ban people from the Year of the Linux Desktop.

      Like Fusion the year of Linux is always next year. It will be next year forever.

      Thank you for opening my eyes to what I have done. I can’t believe I have installed Disney trash to my PC without even thinking about it (haven’t actually played it yet). Time to uninstall.

    That’s so refreshing to see.

      Apex also did this a couple times, until they just disabled Linux support

        Not really. EA sometimes made changes that broke Linux or Steam Deck support. It was Valve (and probably others to be fair) who fixed it couple of times.
