Linux user? Don't bother. Bungie hates you.

[FoxyXIII]

Bungie, in their own words say:

"We create worlds that inspire friendship. This is our code of conduct.".

Yet despite this, anyone using Linux is considered cheaters and are banned from playing the game. There is no reason for this other than pure, utter laziness on behalf of Bungie.

I don't normally post things on Steam, but I think this is disgusting behaviour from a games company.

I heard Bungie borrow Linux server specialist for fixing Beaver network problem.

The OS of a server is not necessarily the OS of the client. Many servers run Linux, is UNIX still used? Yes, it's been a long time since I kept up with that.

It's a little weird that everyone is pointing out the right for Bungie to not support Linux and tells Foxy to check it. I think that was not the point made by reference of "We create worlds that inspire friendship. This is our code of conduct.".

No I think OPs point was that they "hate" us and their "disgusting behaviour" towards people that choose alternative operating systems and ofcourse that "they" think that "all linux users are cheaters".

hopefully OP realizes that posts like that change nothing except peoples perception of a linux user.

That line is totally unrelated to supporting an OS or not. I viewed it as fluff.

Look at the trouble they are having with cheaters and bugs now. Now imagine tossing another build on top of that to support and ask, how much worse it would get?

Hopefully, most are like me and know not all Linux users are the same. I might even have started using Linux but it ticked me off. When Borderlands 2 got a Linux version, stuffed another drive in my PC and installed Linux, what ever the most popular at the time. Installed Steam, then Borderlands 2. I got my saves from Windoze and found I was not allowed to navigate to where the saves needed to be. I asked about it and got something along the lines of "Well duh, it's so easy, you just need to make a script that...." so I formatted the drive and said screw Linux.

I so miss my favorite OS, Amiga OS, what could that have evolved to by now, sigh.

Linux is for geeks, Mac is an appliance, and Windoze is a damaged middle of the road thing for the average person.

It is completely compatible, it's just their anti-cheating system that they won't change to allow for Linux players to play.

Yep, I'm immediately not interested in what you have to say now. Do actually use Linux or just want to act like you're ahead of the technical curve? Plenty of toolchains don't work on linux. It's not like the can just pass a flag --plz-work-on-linux and magically its compatible. If you then run it virtualized, well there ya go. Now no ones anti cheat works because you're in a vm

Because I use Linux for more than just gaming. This is the first game that I haven't been able to play. Everything else runs without complaint.

Sorry to say this but with the need for open source drivers Linux is not worth gameing on. Also the platform is not that easy to develop games for due to the fact that all of the drivers work different then Windows and even Mac which is never really support because its different form windows. (P.S I know this because I am a indie developer and you have to learn these things when learning to make games)

See-there's not officially supporting an OS and actively banning anyone using methods to get the game working on said OS. If Linux users can get Destiny 2 working via Proton (a part of Steam Play), why not let them play the game? Bungie wouldn't have to do anything but NOT ban Proton/Wine users, let the community behind Proton/Lutris do their thing and the game COULD run.

[grounded Morikami]

it's like what BattleEye is doing-banning all users of VFIO (or whatever it's called) to get Windows working on Linux. Lumping all users of an OS in with the cheaters is not a good thing.

if you are running a linux box likely you are using intel which means you could use another drive with windoze 10 for gaming.
the other consideration is the gpu.

I do not have a linux install, but i have installed windows just for gaming.

Steam and Sony PlayStation could services are Linux based, same goes for Before Now, it also uses a Linux operating system. So you'll get banned as well for using the cloud service?

[Awkwurdd]

Why would you cripple your pc by running linux.
Doesn't make any sense

[Realigo Actual]

hate's got nothing to do with it.

Linux remains niche for now.

anticheats must be specifically targeted to the operating system. Linux doesn't have a large enough install base for maybe bungie security team and/or whomever their anticheat provider is to justify spending on building out something that would be viable and functional.

also, the way games are run on Linux is basically the same thing that cheat software does, that is a hurdle already.

this requires cooperation from game developers, anticheat vendors, and the foss community. it's not that it couldn't be done. PS4 is running BSD and BSD is running PS4's security-related code. politics is a factor, and involves bigger fish than bungie.

Honestly now, did you think at all before posting that mess?
