and Epic Games stance on Linux gaming is known
Ported… into… Fortnite? I don’t understand what that means. Like portint Sonic into Mario it just, what
I’ve got a couple thousand hours in Rocket League over the years but Epic has successfully made it so insufferable that I haven’t played it in about a year. Such a shame.
Stop killing games? What about stop fucking up games?
We seriously need to have a long conversation about what constitutes a refund on a game. I got several thousand hours of good times out of this game but the game that I paid for is no longer available.
The thing is, you never paid for a “game” in the first place. You paid for a license with a whole boatload of conditions.
The thing that needs to be fixed is not refunds, but what “buying” something digital means in the first place.
I didn’t say I purchased a game, I said I paid for a game. Whether that’s a “purchase” or a “license” is irrelevant to the fact that I can’t even play the game I “licensed” either.
Hmm, your original response pre-edit was a lot nicer.
I didn’t say I purchased a game, I said I paid for a game.
I also didn’t use the word purchase. You said “paid for a game”, I quoted you as saying you “paid for a game”.
Why are you pretending I misquoted you?
Because the difference seemed to be what your point was. If it wasn’t, I have no idea what it was. I paid for a license for a game. Thus I paid for a game.
That was my point – I was building off of what you said…
I paid for a license for a game. Thus I paid for a game.
This is exactly the problem. This should be true, but it isn’t in most cases.
Store’s like GOG get much closer by giving you a DRM free copy. But some would say that even then, if you aren’t allowed to modify and distribute that, you don’t really own the game either.
Okay so if I didn’t pay for a license for a game, what did I pay for?
You did, and that licence comes with plenty of terms that can restrict or revoke your access to that game.
Which shouldn’t be allowed, but it is.
In an ideal world, you wouldn’t have to purchase a license to the game at all. You could purchase the game itself by receiving a packaged copy of it along with a copy of the source code.
But something inbetween would be a nice start.
Shut the fuck up with your pedantic points. We are broadly talking about having fun with a game. Who the fuck cares if I don’t own it after 10 years? People mature, fads fade, and games get stale. Do I like it? No. But I am not going to derail all other conversations to make it about the point I am determined to shove into every around me. Fuck off.
Somebody needs a hug.
The idea of porting existing games into Fortnite is probably the worst thing I’ve heard of since I learned about CGNAT
Strongly doubt that these games will be entirely unplayable outside of Fortnite. Will eat hat if wrong.

Also bookmarked but I do not think we will witness the consumption of head accessories…
Am I out of the loop? What does this mean to port games to another game?
Is fortnite like a platform now rather than just the battle royale game?
