Not being able to play the world's most popular games, means most gamers aren't ready for Linux yet.

  • FC25
  • GTA V
  • LOL
  • Fortnite

And more.

I hate those games, but my kids want to play FC25, and for that... I still have a dreaded Windows PC.

What is FC25?

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I too would like to know this.

It's not even an acronym, it's a sportsball game by EA.

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Soooooooo what's the "FC" mean? Do you know?

[–] hellofriend@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Football Club. EA can't use FIFA anymore.

Thanks. That's interesting. How come they can't use FIFA anymore?

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The theory was FIFA wanted some batshit amount of money for the franchise which EA decided not to cough up.
This hasn't been confirmed as far as I know, but either way it's greedcorp vs greedcorp.

If that's true, then, well... Dumbasses... Never make an ultimatum unless you can't handle it being rejected. That's like the oldest rule in negotiation. I know that, and I'm a social dumbass. Those fuckers have no excuse.

Why don't force your kids to play actual games like open TTD?

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Further context for anyone interested.

FC25 is the world's most popular Football (soccer) game, made by the world's shittiest gaming company, EA.

Open TTD is an open source transport tycoon sim.

I play GTA V on my steam deck

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Online?

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I haven’t tried, but looked it up and see it doesn’t work.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's the point. Online play on linux is limited.
