    I know a lot of you don’t care if these games run or not, but really does suck they don’t. I’ve talked to quite a few people that wouldn’t switch to Linux because X game doesn’t run on it.

      the only times i’ve had trouble playing a game on linux are when the developer specifically fucks with it so it won’t run on linux. the main reason for that is kernel-level anticheat software, which, from what i’ve heard, doesn’t really help with cheating much anyways. my computer is my computer, i don’t need microsoft or some game company going into my kernel. can’t wait for some drm company to get hacked and have windows gamers up in arms because they got ransomewared.

        I think one of the games got hacked via their anticheat and we’re able to mess around with other players. I don’t remember which one it was though. I don’t play any of these games so they all blend together for me

      Mechwarrior 2 Titanium trilogy, arguably the best games EVER MADE (fight me, wetnose) doesn’t really run on anything beyond Windows 2000. I simply refuse to update to any OS that doesn’t retain the functionality of my games.

      Yeah this is only a win if you don’t play those games. Unfortunately these games are intensely popular and the lack of compatibility stunts the popularity of Linux. I expect there is a similar anti-meme of this list titled “why I’ll never install Linux”
