Comment on Apex Legends is, yet again, falsely banning linux players
Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever@lemmy.world 10 months agoI think it’s fair to assume shareholders want money from anyone who will give it to them.
By that logic, McDonald’s is accountable for not serving lobster. I mean, I want lobster and I might be dumb enough to give McDonald’s money for it.

A closer analogy might be selling uncooked food that is safe for people with a peanut allergy and then one day adding peanuts as an ingredient after they’ve paid for a shipment. [It should go without saying avoiding a peanut allergy reaction is more important than preventing a company locking you out of entertainment software you paid for]
It’s my hope that corporations will learn it’s a dumb choice to needlessly cut off their Linux users but a better choice would be to not play video games where a company can arbitrarily lock you out in the first place. I hope someone is working on a libre version of Apex.
