    Rockstar doesn’t officially support Linux though… So it’s on valve that they certified it for steam deck. There’s no grounds for charging that back to r*

      I disagree. I bought a game for all the features it had at the time of buying it. There is no avenue for a consumer to push back against publishers changing that

        While if you bought it, it should be source included and you should be able to host your own servers/pick any patch to play on

        We don’t have those consumer protections because software is a relatively new thing

              While the other person saying 80 years is a bit much, it has been a constant for at least 40 years now.

              Personal computing and software isn’t new.

              Edit: To clarify, 1984 (40 years ago) saw Superbowl ads for the Apple Macintosh and the advent of the CD-ROM.

      Who cares about Rockstar’s opinion of “grounds?” Valve should simply do it anyway, and kick Rockstar off Steam entirely if it bitches about it.
