Nobody should ever be banned without knowing exactly what they were banned for. Either he's lying (I doubt it) or they didn't bother telling him, just gave him a perma ban without notice.

That's pretty shitty. They deserve the shit storm this will kick up.

Why are open source projects acting like vague tech companies? Just show exactly what he did wrong, what the hell?

Hmm this is honestly the first time i heard about NonSteamLaunchers. Gotta try that once i am home.

Works like a charm. I've been playing WoW on my steamdeck, through a battlenet launcher installed this way.

That seems pretty rad. I hope i am not too lazy to try, because i picked up wow sod 5 weeks ago

The nonsteamlaunchers dev going straight to defending against allegations of racism and bigotry is suspicious. Was the (alleged) harassment of that nature?

[–] adam@doomscroll.n8e.dev 1 points 1 month ago

They didn't specify, so yes, suspicious.

Decky state he was harassing people. He states he wasn't making racist or bigoted comments and has no idea why it was removed. Kinda strange.
