      Ugh. I’d probably pay $15 for it on sale, but the launcher makes me want to pirate it just to avoid that crap. I literally just want to play undead nightmare.

        Yeah i am done with “its just a launcher bro, lets game”

        There so many good games with out that trash… Why?

        For me the last straw was not being able to play a game on a plane because no internet connection. God forbid i enjoy something i paid for without checking in with server.

        FAFO, grifters. No money for parasites.

            I open Blops 6, Blops 6 opens

            Technically it’s the CoD HQ thing, but it loads Blops 6 content first and will let me play MP and Zombies without anything else needed

            I had to log in to battlenet when I first got cod, but it otherwise doesn’t appear when playing

            So I can see 2 if you count battlenet, what’s the third?

              Linking YouTube videos on my phone now makes it difficult to share without stupid tracking links, but check out Videogamedunkey’s recent Black Ops 6 video. It’s asinine.

                I respect you appreciating this!

                Can you even get a non tracking spytube or reddit link amymore?

                  Seriously! I used to be able to copy and paste easily and remove everything after the ?, but now they’ve changed it so it’s nested in the URL. Also, they broke ad blocking in Firefox Focus, so I have to copy and paste the videos into Safari with Vinegar and Baking Soda for a halfway decent watch experience. Aaaaaaaa

    If Rockstar hadn’t just royally screwed all Linux gamers over by adding that god-awful BattlEye anti-cheat to GTA Online, I might be interested. Now I see Rockstar does not care if I have access to the games I’ve purchased, so why would I want to buy more of their games? No thanks, especially not $50 for a 20 year old game. Rockstar won’t be seeing a penny from me.

    It’ll be interesting to see the sales numbers on this. Surely it’s been long enough that it’ll only be the extra few stragglers and the few looking for a hit of nostalgia, right?

      I’d love to play it, but I’m not paying more than 15€ for it, I’m very patient.

      I love good stories. RDR2 was a good story, and RDR1 is technically the sequel to it. And as I don’t like consoles, especially not buying them for one game, I’ll definitely buy it - if it runs on Linux.

          Yeah. As I said, RDR1 is the sequel and RDR2 is the prequel.

              Its a retroactive sequel, yes

              Sequel and prequel are relative terms. In the overarching view of the series release order: RDR1 is the prequel and RDR2 is the sequel

              In the view of the game story, RDR2 is the prequel and RDR1 is the sequel

                Now that is something I can’t talk much about because I only played the prequel and not gonna pay R* the current asking price for an old game.

                But good to know.

      Based on the numbers for the Dead Space remaster, I expect this one to do very well.

        That was a remaster though. This is just a port isn’t it?
