Modern day is the worst time to be a hardcore gamer, I swear to fuck. As always, I protest by refusing to have any non-Linux os on my pc and only buying games that run on my pc. Indie games are always better anyway.
This post reads a lot like “we were too lazy to think about how to properly implement multplayer and security so we just slapped some malware on top”. Shame, I would have liked to try this game.
