A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Trying to decide whether or not to spend £60 on battlefield 6

The games doing very well with new players but getting mixed reviews from longtime BF fans.

I installed Windows again on a 2nd SSD just to play the beta and honestly wasn't impressed... undeniably an improvement over 2042, But what's the point in settling for better then dogshit when I can still play the peak of the franchise? and play them on Linux!

From the trailers it honestly looked really cool, but then I saw and heard about the all draconian user-disrespecting stuff like the online-even-for-campaign requirement and highly invasive kernel level anticheat that requires TPM 2.0?! That part felt bonkers to me.

Like is that gonna be a thing now? "This game demands to register a cryptographic key with your bootloader to make sure you're not up to funnybusiness." (I'm not 100% sure how it works, so my ignorance is filled in with LOTS of suspicion...)

Also EA just got bought by like...Saudi private equity? That's pretty spook to me, too.

I dunno. I just wanna play Titans on Battlefield 2142 again. And BF 3 and 4 were nice too...

Also a Linux gamer. (Shrug)

Don't wanna be a downer or scare you off too much! Just things to consider, because £60 certainly ain't chump change! :)

Battlefield 4 and 1 are some of my favourite modern shooter games but I can’t justify buying 6. First of all it can’t run on Linux so I’d have to buy it on PlayStation but also I’ve heard very mixed things. It’s disappointing, I really wanted to have another Battlefield 4 experience again.
