I wonder if you're eligible for a refund because the game suddenly became unplayable 2 years after the launch because they decide to brick Linux gaming.

Edit: I know Linux still works. I was just generally wondering

Valve refunded me after rocket league dropped Linux support long after I paid for it. This was before proton made it work again regardless. So there is history of it happening.

Some guy had to insist a lot to get his For Honor game refunded because they removed Linux support. Technically was not officially supported by the dev, but implicitly supported by Valve on the store page, so imo they should refund.

No judgment, I'm genuinely curious: isn't "brick" for hardware?

Hmmm. I use it freely as an alternative to breaking. But that's probably not a correct way to use it.

Old man trying to be hip and all that.

You raise a good point :).

Not a worry, fellow OG. Back in our day, a "brick" was a heinously missed shot in basketball, ie ya might as well've thrown a brick at the backboard. 🤣

Now, I guess you can use your phone? Dunno. Kids're weird. (If you raise 'em right 😉🤘🏼)
