i mean, it's kinda in the legal grey area? you're not breaking any laws (at least i haven't heard of any such cases) but you're definitely not following the TOS (and you're just kinda being a douche if you're doing that)

Yeah I mean. Tbh I always avoid native Linux games and force proton. You should give a try.

Kero•7/7/24, 9:54 PM

Zeglius•7/7/24, 9:54 PM

HL1's linux port is fine until you use mods

Kero•7/7/24, 9:55 PM

And just deal with the possible hate from the exploiters

ZZeglius Something something old Linux dependencies missing

DevilFish303•7/7/24, 9:55 PM

AAlex&Indie just dont generate keys

Kero•7/7/24, 9:55 PM

Zeglius•7/7/24, 9:55 PM

As for the update, did you follow the #announcements thing?

KKero And just deal with the possible hate from the exploiters

Alex&Indie•7/7/24, 9:55 PM

you are in control, so it depends on your decisions anyway

Kero•7/7/24, 9:55 PM

Makes sense ^^"

ZZeglius As for the update, did you follow the #announcements thing?

DevilFish303•7/7/24, 9:56 PM

DevilFish303•7/7/24, 9:56 PM

DevilFish303•7/7/24, 9:56 PM

one sec let me try some stuff

halvaOP•7/7/24, 9:57 PM

like idk it's just
it just comes off as unethical? not illegal (and it's not like the legality of something makes it ethical)
piracy is at least a straightforward process of copyright infringement, most people don't hold any odd justifications for it

halvaOP•7/7/24, 9:57 PM

"oo but i did pay for it" is an awful thing to say

AAlex&Indie ```curl -sL https://fix.universal-blue.org/ | sudo bash```

Ahulani•7/7/24, 9:57 PM

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/7/24, 9:58 PM

AAlex&Indie open terminal, run that whole thing

Ahulani•7/7/24, 9:58 PM

it's asking me for my sudo password, but when I try to type, nothing happens in the box

ZZeglius I mean, I don't know if a week can be "a long while" XD

DevilFish303•7/7/24, 9:58 PM

i’m gonna start a thread, since it’s a few screenshots to show you what i mean

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/7/24, 9:58 PM

that's by design

Hhalva id rather have my stuff pirated than "bought" like that

Zeglius•7/7/24, 9:59 PM

Password is hidden yeah

Zeglius•7/7/24, 9:59 PM

But you are actually typing it

Ahulani•7/7/24, 9:59 PM

ok, gimme a sec

Muko Tabi•7/7/24, 9:59 PM

assuming we call that piracy then you could say it's one way to bypass denuvo drm in the high sea

ZZeglius But you are actually typing it

Kero•7/7/24, 10:00 PM

exactly, that's why when I release my project I'm not going to generate any keys, track and revoke the licenses I see are exploited, since I want to provide an affordable price to the consumer

Zeglius•7/7/24, 10:00 PM

Though, I think you could show

Alex&Indie•7/7/24, 10:01 PM

I actually never use key before, steam sales are more than enough and for most people too

Kero•7/7/24, 10:01 PM
