Goodbye Roblox on Steam Deck - eviltoast

Well, shit. Unfortunate news from the Vinegar Discord: Roblox will block Wine in future releases.

This is going to end my “Steam Deck as a primary desktop PC for my kid” experiment.

    Some applications just require Windows. You have to acknowledge that if you’re going to use a non-Windows device.

    I have the same discussion with my wife every time some website doesn’t work. “Are you using a real browser or are you in Safari?”

      I think you’re missing the point that it is working and they are intentionally breaking it.

            just because doom runs on everything not every software needs to run in any environment. it’s a shitty move to actively break working things but in the end they are not obligated to anyone but their shareholders. and if they think that is what they need to do then let them.

              And apathy is why so many businesses are getting away with anti consumer practices.
