EA gets a pass because they didn’t try to sue my community. This was pre OWI, they weren’t even a “studio”, just a bunch of modders trying to force their will on a community over assets they didn’t hold IP rights to. They didn’t have a leg to stand on, but nonethelss they tried and it cost people effort and money to verify this. I’m sure you can understand not wanting to support gamers suing other gamers.

It would have been 3 years ago or so at least for the game.

And my reasons are valid enough. The PR team threatened lawsuits against multiple modding communities back in the day. I have no reason to support people like that.

I played Squad briefly. It’s one of the few games I ever asked Steam for a refund. Slow, clunky, physics were almost non-existent, poor sound…it was like playing a half-finished BF3 mod. Plus I gave a personal bone to pick with the creators, IIRC they’re the Project Reality modders ftom BF. No desire to support them.

That‘d be great if it‘s got good gameplay. I‘d like to move away from EA‘s Battlefield. I‘ve tried a few other games but they don‘t quite cut it.

The only thing reading something like this does for me is paint the linux community as completely inept and dishonest.

I swapped GPU in windows by downloading the new driver, shut down the pc, swap cards, boot pc that then loads a default windows driver, install the new driver I downloaded, done. If it asks for a reboot, that takes another 20 seconds.

Done.
