minus-squarethingsiplay@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 days agoMy first thought too. But if he does not end up buying it, Linux support will be broken in a year anyway. Unless someone else steps in and continues.
minus-squareMatty_r@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 days agoWell yea, sure. He just has a bone to pick with Linux. It was a pretty good MMO, so it would be cool to see it continue so its worth the gamble.
