  • I’ve been playing Squad fairly frequently for a long time on Linux, usually without issue. Most game aren’t technically supported, but they work perfectly fine, as long as the devs don’t purposefully block it. With that said, I’m pretty sure OWI has said they actively support Linux now, with them recently adding support for Squad44 too.

    (The current playtest this weekend for the next big update to UE5 won’t let me join servers though, and I’m pretty sure it’s an issue with Linux support.)

    I also wouldn’t say it’s a strategy game in first person. Certainly that is a way some people will be playing, but most are playing an FPS, just much slower paced than most, and where you need to follow orders and work together to be effective.





  • The setting is that you’re playing in a video game, so things aren’t realistic, that’s for sure. It’s not supposed to be though. The issue with the crazy skins in CoD is that they’re portraying themselves as a “hardcore realistic military shooter”, but then you have the American Dad characters running around.

    The Finals being not realistic allows them to do so much, from level design to mechanics. It does not play like Battlefield at all, but it does have better destruction than it’s ever had. The gameplay is that of a fast paced movement shooter, and it’s very cerebral, with a lot of ways to outplay your enemy and use them and the environment to your advantage. Even without the reaction time and skill of some people, you can play smarter and win.





  • And also none from the person above, but the logic doesn’t check out. Using basic inference, we know it isn’t about legal content. That already wasn’t allowed, so no changes needed to be made. There must be another reason. What is it? I don’t know. I’m not making a claim to knowledge of what it is. I’m only proving that it isn’t what the other person claimed. Burden of proof is on the person making a claim, not the one disputing it.


  • We don’t know their reasoning. However, we do know their requirement, which is not “no illegal content.” It’s “no content involving rape or incest” or something like that. They have also stated publicly they do not want to be involved in regulating legal content, but, again, that isn’t what they required. If they only cared about illegal content then that’s what their requirement would say, but it isn’t.
