It's like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there's no excuse.

I've already beaten the game. It hasn't asked me to sign in. There's still a "sign in" button in the main menu.

I'm guessing they tried to allow it temporarily, hoping it would reduce the backlash, then flip on the requirement later.

The fact that there's a giant box that says account linking is required is enough for me to never touch it. Fitgirl already has a repack so I guess I need to reinstall Windows to get it installed...

There's actually a repacker that happens to think that LinuxRuleZ and those work out the box for Linux. And this game is already there

Literally named LinuxRuleZ on the torrminatorr forum. Welcome to the club

the torrminatorr forum.

It won't even let me in the forum.

Oh no. Lemmy keeps showing me things I need to look into for my move to Linux. No more FitGirl, or is it this game (among others of course) specifically?

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

All fitgirl repacks need to be installed using Windows, AFAIK

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for letting me know! Time to look for alternatives. I'll start with Rin I suppose

Install it in a Windows VM, then copy the game's install directory to your Linux install. Might need to fiddle with Proton a bit, but should work fine.
