I also bookmarked the Librewolf Flatpak package. I consider to change my browser (Firefox) for the first time in 20 years or so, since its inception. I do not rely on the Mozilla account, so the switch should be easier for me. Passwords should be compatible I assume. In worst case you can export and import passwords.

They do not get ownership, but a license to do what they want with it. Giving a license does not change ownership, yes they are correct with this.

Google began phasing out Manifest V2 last year and plans to end support for extensions built on it by mid-2025. That change has real consequences: Chrome users are already losing access to uBlock Origin, one of the most popular ad blockers, because it relies on a Manifest V2 feature called blockingWebRequest.

I’m actually a little bit surprised that Mozilla directly calling out Google by name and what they do, in an explicit manner.

If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.

Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

I agree. There is not a high priority to have official support, as the unofficial support is good enough. I played Overwatch (and later OW2 a bit) for years on Linux. It felt like native to me. All I am really asking for is not to ban or block Linux users.

WINE runs them fine, so there’s a limited return for Blizzard to do a native port.

Officially supporting the Linux platform does not mean doing a native port. Look in example what Marvel Rivals does. They do support Linux, with official statements and with bug fixes related to Linux (they even specifically mentioned a specific bug fix for Bazzite in one of their recent patch notes). The game runs through Proton. Blizzard / Xbox could do the same here.

Microsoft itself has some conflict of interests, where they use Linux in servers and work actively on Linux itself. And at the same time Microsoft wants to bring the Xbox brand to as many platforms as possible, as it is no longer the Xbox console that counts. So there should be an interest to make the games officially supported on a Linux platform.

On the other side however, they also want Windows to succeed. And not supporting a minority platform means huge savings in time and money and less complication in management. I am curious how Xbox gaming brand will handle Linux in the future.

A list of several boxarts for Suikoden: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/948855-genso-suikoden/boxes

The PAL version uses the original art from Japanese release. I think it even improves on it by having a white background, which looks more classy to me: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/948855-genso-suikoden/boxes/10236

How many were laid off? Did they hire another people maybe? I would be careful with premature conclusions based on this single event. It would be hilarious if those laid off people go to work on Overwatch…

Given enough money, everything in the market is for sale. This is just a tactic to make the value higher.

Did you reply to the wrong person?

And whats bad about it?

As long as he does not make any money and it is not about a current gen game, its not as bad as you might think. He does not directly use assets from Nintendo, as everything is self created. The only thing in the way is, that he is using the IP (Intellectual Property) and names. But you know what, there are thousands of fan made games like that - ton of them even using assets directly ripped off Nintendo games, and they are not sued. People do this kind of thing since decades.

You did not just give feedback, but suggest me not posting here. No. I will post here. About games you are not interested. Just dont click them, dont be annoying.

Well I’m not going into all posts I dont like and tell them that I’m not interested into. Do i? If you dont like post, dont click. Or do not use this sub forum. Because its not just for you.

Why do people click the post if they are not interested? The title says it all. And I don’t post update notes usually, its probably my first time here. I posted this because of some noteworthy thing about supporting a specific Linux distribution, as explained in my post.

Paid subreddits. I mean look at the free to play live service games, how people like to buy stuff that not everyone has. We can laugh as much as we want and think how dumb this is. But people are dumber. It will drive away some people from Reddit, most won’t care and just stay using the “Free” stuff. Some will pay for the subreddits.

Maybe NSFW content or support subreddits for paying customers.
