No one said we need to play roblox on linux. We WANT to play roblox on Linux because its our computer and we want the freedom to play what we choose and not be arbitrarily limited by an asshole game studio.
Thanks for your reply :)
I think the problem with roblox goes far beyond the individual freedom to access a program.
What we both say isn't mutually exclusive. But I do think that gaming Linux communities could take a stand on the kind of gaming world we want and the kind we don't want...
Looking at the downvotes I get here and setting aside people who don't like/understand irony, I feel either there are a bunch of roblox-fan (I sincerely hope it's not it) or there are people like you who took the individual freedom to use a computer and apply it with crushing dogmatism (but without taking the time to expend on it like you did). But do gnu/Linux communities have to be chain to this ? I'm not sure. When twitter was shit, do we just said 'never mind it runs on Linux, we're free.' ? Or reddit or Facebook ? No we discouraged actively to use those platforms and we build alternative that are better for people. Here what do we have ? A gaming platform with predatory practices toward children and we give it access to our computer without even the game studio had to lift a finger for it. A new (and small yes, but still) market of users for what you called yourself a 'asshole game studio'.
