Hello everyone!
The end of the Windows 10 era is approaching, and more and more players are moving away from Windows in favor of other operating systems, including Linux. Many of us, Linux users, also pay for EVE Online subscriptions with real money and would love to have full support, just like players using Windows or macOS.
Currently, running EVE on Linux is a real challenge - I recently spent a whopping 4 hours just to get the game running! It shouldn’t be this way. Therefore, I appeal to CCP Games: please give us a native version of EVE Online for Linux!
The ideal solution would be the simplest possible version in the form of an AppImage - if that’s not feasible, at least a standard installer. This would save us from the frustration of configuring Wine or other workarounds.
Linux players shouldn’t be left out. Since macOS users have support, we deserve it too!
Let me know what you think - maybe together we can reach CCP and make a change.
Fly safe,
Appeal to CCP Games - copy and paste:
"Dear CCP Games,
We kindly ask for full support for EVE Online players using the Linux operating system.
More and more users are moving away from Windows, and Linux is becoming a real alternative.
Running the game via Wine is time-consuming and frustrating - we want a native version of the game, preferably in the AppImage format or in another accessible way.
Please consider our needs, just as you support macOS users.
Linux players also pay for subscriptions and want full access to the game.
Respectfully,
The EVE Online Linux Player Community
