I guess that’s cool but Epic Games will still be at the bottom of my list of game/app stores that I use.
For context, I’ve been using a chart of game/app store with scores based on multiple categories and sorting them into a list to keep track of which ones I should be prioritizing. With on how I currently have them rated, the Epic Games Store will go from a 1/10 to a 4/10, which means that it’s still at the bottom of my list.
If they don’t integrate Proton as part of this to allow all those Windows games to just work, and then also don’t subsequently make at least a token effort to contribute to Proton’s codebase, this isn’t enough for me to care. On the other hand, if they do actually do both of those things I may be willing to end my nigh on a decade boycott of their services.
Is the windows version worth using yet?
Or is it still just a store tacked on to the unreal engine launcher?
Bring back the Rocket League Linux client or eat a fucking dick, Epic.
Some folks forget Rocket League had a perfectly running Linux version of the game UP UNTIL Epic bought it and shitcanned the Linux version.
Doesn’t it work flawlessly via proton?
I wouldn’t know when they dropped the Linux client was the day I dumped the game
You could even get a full refund for your purchase. I did with 100s of hours and the original purchase being years ago.
It was kinda annoying that you had to fight for it. I can’t imagine how many people who put down the game for a few years and checked up on it to find the Linux version is no longer supported and they’re beyond the point to request a refund.
It was gifted to me, so I’m not sure how that would work.
EDIT: Upon reflection though, it would be nice if you could refund your friends for a game they gifted you that you weren’t actually into (as long as you make sure it doesn’t hurt the friends feelings first of course)
On Steam you can, you request a refund (effectively just removing the game from your acc) and then your friend needs to request it as well for it to proceed.
Yeah, I’m running Bazzite and still playing Rocket League through Steam. Works great, better framerate than Windows
“The digital distribution storefront equivalent of cancer thinking about moving to Linux”.
It’d be pretty funny if the Linux client will be actually usable unlike the windows version
The Linux version is the result of a total rewrite of the client they are doing on all platform, so like Steam the client will be the same everywhere
Eat a dick, Tim Sweeney.

I always laughed at this. The difference here Tim is you can VOTE and make your voice heard with the US and democracy. Microsoft has a monopoly. They don’t care as long as they get enough users to buy in, it’s financially viable to them and they force it on everyone. But hey, what do I know, I’ve been a Linux user since 2007 and I’ve been SHOCKED at what people would put up with on their PC and Microsoft’s Windows.
Dude peaked at ZZT.
It won’t be as good as Heroic so who cares?
Well, when something like Alan Wake II comes around, the problem for me is that I have no guarantee from the seller that it will continue to work on my operating system. If I’m an officially supported customer, I have some recourse if they push an update that breaks compatibility for me.
Do they even have user reviews implemented yet?
