- Comment on DuckStation dev dropping support for Linux 3 weeks ago:
Yes, making a fork from the newest version that allows it would be the way to go. I am quite unfamiliat with PS1 emulation but perhaps there are others anyway?
Open source freedom means that the author can have crazy license, and we can just not use it or look for alternatives

Forking against the license wouldn’t solve the problem of not being included in distributions though. No sane distribution would include the fork.
- Comment on The upcoming skate. from EA will be unsupported on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to anti-cheat 5 weeks ago:
Eh, you could make your own kernel module and require it being enabled for Linux as well. It would be a major undertaking though, and since the linux share is very small still it just isn’t worth it.
- Comment on EA SPORTS WRC will be adding EA anticheat, game will not playable any more. On ProtonDB game is rated Platinum 1 year ago:
That seems to be the general atmosphere, “leaving money”. They probably analysed it and thought it wasn’t worth the effort. Companies like to make money after all.

You still need to keep supporting it for future releases, make sure it actually works and not just builds, test, update QA pipeline, tell support, etc etc

You are getting downvoted by people that have no idea how software development and maintence works.
Every feature cost. More than most people realise. Both in development time and to maintain it over time and releases. It all adds up, not saying EA are correct in not supporting it. But to think it is free is just incorrect.
They made a business decision to not support it. We think it is the wrong decision, but it is ultimately theirs to make.
