  • This! I mean… what’s so special about their proprietary solution compared to what’s already known about a specific technology.

    In case of camera devices, RTSP is RTSP… there’s no other magic or whatsoever behind it. You also can’t do any AI magic on these devices either. So any extra enhancements have to be done on the servers or apps.

    Hence, they should be forced to give us full access to the basic stuff, and if they want to add some glitter on top of that and charge for it, by all means… they should go ahead… If someone wants and needs it, they’ll happily pay for it.












  • I do agree with the part where software moves, dependencies yada, yada… I’m a developer myself.

    But… this is different. They eliminated a perfectly working game, where they didn’t have to invest a minute of labor to get it working on Linux. The only thing they had to provide was the .so-file (for EAC) when publishing to Steam… Valve did all the work to make EAC compatible on Linux, yes, on user-level… but still… it fucking worked.

    Punishing an entire userbase, because other assholes (assumably) used Linux for cheating is discrimination. Even if there were no cheaters at all… it’s still discrimination… because it used to fucking work.
