    Splitgate already turned me off in the first one when they nerfed all the weapons into oblivion. Not sure why almost every indie shooter I try eventually nerfs their guns into paintballs. I miss the days of the first call of duty where you could just mow everything down with the PPSh or actually one-shot with a sniper

    I am very disappointed by this. Splitgate is one of the few games I actually play regularly.

    Splitgate was fun for a hot minute. Then they would hide bots as humans in matches and that got old quick.

      Unpopular opinion but the bots were more fun. You could immediately spot human opponents because it devolved into defensive peeking until someone pixel-perfect portals directly behind the other. When 90% of gunfights end with someone getting shot in the back it doesn’t feel like a fun flanking mechanic anymore.

        That’s fine, having bots for people that want them is awesome. Hiding the bots as humans was my biggest gripe.

    Is there any chance some psycho is gonna make a steam deck Linux package to “emulate” on desktop? I feel like that’s probably gonna happen before game devs make their games universally compatible

      They’re rootkits. They have root-level access. You can’t emulate that.

      Probably more convenient to download the cracked version without the anticheat. That’ll work on Linux.

      The idea of “voting with your wallet” doesn’t work in most cases, because your only options are to vote in favour, or not vote. Boycotts aren’t votes against a product, because they don’t hurt companies. They just refuse to help them.

      Piracy isn’t stealing, but since companies think it is, piracy is the third option we need - the no vote.
