Which "most played most popular" games would that be?

You mean Baldur's Gate 3? Well, that one runs just fine on Linux. Also has a Linux native build.

CS:GO 2? Also a Linux native build.

DOTA 2? Runs perfectly fine.

Terraria? Linux native.

Palworld? Runs great. Even on Steam Deck.

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth? Linux native.

I'm sure you're getting the idea. The only ones that didn't work at all or not as good on Linux are PUBG and Marvel Rivals.

    Almost all of these games are dogshit. As for the rest, want kernel access because you're a shitty corporation? Fuck off. I'll opt for security rather than bend over for a corporation to do what the fuck ever. I find it entertaining you came on Lemmy to fight this fight lol

    Everyone here (99% probably) hates fucking windows. For excellent reasons. Cry about it and tout your shit games all you want, windows will still be shit.

    Pretty simple then, leave, you aren't welcome here.

    Last two sentences are deranged.

    Really? Well let's analyse that then.

    Fortnite; blocked by anti-cheat. Otherwise runs nicely. Fuck epic games. Besides, only children who don't know any better play Fortnite.

    Roblox; runs using the Sober client. Better than on windows, according to most Linux players.

    Warzone; There are a couple of games called "Warzone", but if you're talking about Call of Duty Warzone, the it's not even in the top 50 games played... And that's for Call of Duty as a whole. Warzone specifically doesn't even have an entry in the SteamDB charts top 100 most played games.

    Battlefield 6; Eeeyyy, actually a game that's within the top 50 played games on Steam. Too bad it's still out-done by Terraria, Cyberpunk 2077, and the likes of Gramblue Fantasy. Yeah, you know, nobody on Linux is missing this one.

    Call of Duty; Which one? As in the whole franchise? Yeah, the franchise as a whole doesn't even make it in the top 50, like I said before. However, most Call of Duty games are just playable on Linux so... Unless you mean something specific, this one is just wrong.

    Apex Legends; used to run on Linux, but then EA did a rug pull. So you're blaming that ln who? Linux, or EA?

    Anyway, let's do a recap. Out of the 6 games you mentioned only 3 have are actually popular (Fortnite, Roblox, and Apex Legends), the others coming nowhere near top 10, or even top 40, with ONE that is in the low 40s (Battlefield 6).

    Discarding the other ones as unpopular trash most people don't play anyway, that leaves us with 2 out of 3 popular games that don't run on Linux.

    From the ones you mentioned, that is.

    In the top 10 currently played games on Steam, only ONE is unplayable on Linux. Apex Legends. And it used to play on Linux just fine.

    You guys think steam is the entire world.

    On PC it might as well be, so as a reminder...

    Those games aren’t in the top 50 cause no one plays them on steam.

    ... We're talking about PC here. Nobody gives a shit if they happen to be on console too (which aren't windows either).

    Anyway, nice gif, but nobody asked you to do a face reveal.
