CCP is now getting bad reviews on ProtonDB

It depends if the amount of omega players they get is worth the extra costs they need to make to allow you to play EVE on Linux.

104

Then stop paying. That’s simple too.

105

Sure, but I would rather be able to play and pay.

106

You’re not a second class underspecies, but you may be a loss to CCP because of your uncommon choice of OS.

Hypothetically if CCP can make more money by not offering Linux support, why should they offer Linux support? They’re not charity.

107

I would also rather a lot of things but I remember that song “You can’t always get what you want”. I listen to it when I feel entitled.

108

You act like I am expecting something free, whilst it’s not officially supported, I am still a paying customer, if they don’t want that situation, then they should ACTIVELY BLOCK LINUX USERS (looks like that may come by basically letting it become problematic and die).

They stated they won’t “ban” you for connecting from Linux and the suppot is “unofficial” so they basically take your money and it’s “life support”, and “at will”.

So they like your money, but… they like your money. Will they like it enough to miss it?

109

Why should they actively block Linux players? That requires action, which isn’t free, and in case one Linux player manages to get it to work it would be extra income for CCP.

110

No, they know from the logs who uses WINE, Mac native no longer uses wine.

Any WINE user is Linux.

Simply block that connection.

111

Yes, and?

If someone wants to pay CCP, they’re free to do so.

No reason to block potential customers.

112

Any WHINE user is Linux.

No reason to put effort into getting those customer’s money then such as Linux support and/or native client?

114

Variants of this argument seem to come up a lot.

If you don’t like x, then don’t y.
Nobody is forcing you to do z.

That is tant amount to values based cowardice.

115

I was wondering if you’d like some cheese with that WINE.
