If I played any Rockstar games, I'd be unhappy with their new anti-cheat too, since it needlessly blocks linux, but this isn't the way this should be protested. If anything, this probably validates their decision.
The way this should be protested is to just stop playing. Stop giving them money. Stop boosting their month active user numbers that they can flaunt to investors. Hit them financially, since it's the only hit they really care about. There's a sea of other high-quality games you can play instead.
Gamers and still buying the same old tired shit while bitching about it, name a more…
You’re absolutely right. The number of great games to play is absurd and the access to them has never been better but for some reason most people just play mediocre games that should have been put out to pasture years ago.
GTA Online has terrible monetization and Rockstar are openly hostile towards PC as a platform, but I wouldn't call GTA mediocre at all. There's nothing quite like the attention to detail or breadth of GTA games. If you've played a few GTA clones, you'll know what the competition looks like and it's not even close.
Idk Cyberpunk makes GTA look like a intern project.
Maybe I need to give Cyberpunk 2077 another shot.
I definitely encourage it!
It's one of the most polished games I've played, that is currently in circulation, as of the 2.0 update. I think you will like it now if you previously were disappointed
