Warframe is a free alternative to destiny , its in steam and runs on linux. For those looking for that type of game. There is a warframe community on lemmy too.

Don’t give Bungie your hard earned money because Destiny 2 is now pay to win and they’ll always try to screw you. Don’t get sucked into this game and give this horrible company your money.

Bungie was given 1.2 BILLION to retain talent. They decided to fire 100 people going back to the Halo days.

That right there ended any money I'll ever give to Bungie.

i bought that game full price. 60 dollars

still better use of my money than black ops 4 was

Bad take.

I'll remind you that Steam needs SOME competition in order to actually get better, and I can't think of anyone else able to do it (Microsoft has kinda already tried and failed). Remember when Steam suddenly addressed long-standing issues with the client and storefront a couple years ago? That was because the EGS appeared.

I'll also remind young folks that the Internet was extremely negative regarding steam when it was new. Yes, I've been on Steam for 20+ years.

Tldr: EGS is fine. Relax.

Edit: clarity

You aren't supporting them by accepting free games and then not using them. It costs them money to give them to you.

No no, you don't get it. Windows has problems, but switching to Linux would be like leaving your home country because you don't like its political trends. Where's your OS patriotism? There's no need for Linux, because you can just keep using Windows and hope Microsoft ends up doing what's best for their ~~customers~~ products :)

I'm paraphrasing here, but that's an actual thing the CEO and founder of Epic Games posted on Twitter: https://nitter.net/timsweeneyepic/status/964284402741149698

not support Linux with Fortnite despite only needing to click a single checkbox

I'd love to see that, because my understanding is that the anticheat software that fortnite and others use requires pretty deep access to your system that linux either can't or won't give them

It's more than clicking a single box when they build. They will have to provide support for Linux systems, that's the real kicker. Also their anti cheat might not like Linux.

Not saying they shouldn't, it's ridiculous that they don't support Linux. But there are valid reasons.

Same. I'd rather pay for my games than be bribed to use their launcher.

There is no need to use their launcher, as there are open source alternatives. "legendary" is a tool that can download sand install games from epic, but it's command line only. Fortunately, there is also "heroic", which is a GUI for it and honestly a pretty good one. Can also handle GOG games.

They work well for me, haven't had epic's launcher installed in a very long time.

I am polygameous

I stopped playing way back during Forsaken, and even then I was getting soured on the game.

Then I found out they effectively deleted the first couple year's worth of content and I got pissed off for the community.

Heroic games launcher :3

Then go promote GOG or itch.io. Don't support companies with monopolistic behavior

Usually a couple towards the end

It has three expansions bundled with it. I've never played, but it's my understanding that these three expansions represent the initial must-buy content.

Alan Wake 2 is a masterpiece! Fuck Epic though, I pirated it and will buy it on sale on Steam whenever that happens.
