9 Why are Rockstar so biased against Unix like or Linux and towards Microsoft. Especially with eunux.net?

knightstar asked:


Heres a few mistruths from eunix.net on GTAIV corrected.

“Why can’t you play any games on Eunux?”

Do they not realise they’re own game runs on the PS3, which runs Linux. ID the creators of the first FPS Wolfenstein (new one coming out at “http://www.idsoftware.com” ;-) ) and doom create games for Linux along with unreal tournament usually with far higher multiplayer number capabilities than windows variants. Linux can also run windows games via Cedega, though M$ try hard to make it difficult, thankfully Nvidia are not as biased as rockstar.

“Why is everything on Eunix so ugly?”

In my opinion kde4 Linux systems (like Kubuntu) look far better and far more functional than vista and so does another Unix fork (from FreeBSD) MAC OS. Gnome (Ubuntu) can be made to look better than vista with a bit of work.

“Why can’t Eunux create a decent file manger?
But you can see our source code does that mean nothing to you”

The Konqueror file manager is far better than explorer in features and usability, with brilliant plugins like visual file view and if it crashes it won’t bring the whole shell down and reload itself possibly doing untold damage and giving opportunities to viral nasties. (ever seen your desktop go blank for a second, or advice to remove icons from the desktop).
Apples Safari and Google Chrome are based on Konqueror.

“Why is eunux so much slower than to$$ os?
guess you’re one of those RAM is always half-empty’ people.
It’s free Get over It”

Actually Vista used a disk caching system after it had been used in Linux for years and uses a page file persistently and forcibly which stems from the days of lack of ram and considering Unix runs well on a far higher range of slower hardware, must be more efficient.

Why is the Linux kernel so bloated?

It isn’t and it can be reduced to 8KB whereas to$$ were amased when they got there’s below three MB.
Linux also won’t BSOD when you move your hdd to a new computer although you won’t need a new one so often unless you want to because it’ll keep chugging along, at a good speed dependent on your applications and not background tasks or left behind rubbish.

In conclusion:
Eunux.net is an unbalanced disgrace. I have a sense of humour and if I didn’t know so much about operating systems then it might be funny.
However as comedians know, what is really funny is the truth, and eunex.net is so far from the truth, it makes you wonder if it had anything to do with the millions from microsoft for lost damned or just unknowledgeable developers. Who made a game which I returned as the mouse only worked on the menu, on a fresh install with windows live disabled, how ironic and the control input system was geared towards xbox360 pads and analog sticks when I prefer the dpad for driving and keyboard and mouse for running, it should be MY choice shouldn’t it.

I could go on and on about the many lies and come up with truthfully funny quims about windows, but they’re not worth it, this is here for you and to point out and then see what people think or know about why rockstar would be so imbalanced. I’ve played and bought all of rockstar games for pc (gtaIV returned), but I won’t BUY another.
People who run the game r meant to have Windows & so r more likely 2 find truthful anicdotes about Windows funny.

for example (cut) circulated by ex CEO of IBM

At COMDEX, B. Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated
“If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1000mi/gal.”

General Motors addressed this comment by saying

“Yes but would you want a car that crashed twice a day?”
1. Every time they re-painted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.
2. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, faster and easier to use but only ran on 5% of the roads.
3. Oil gas & alternator lights would be replaced with a general fault light.
4. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
5. The airbag system would say, Are you sure? before going off

I’d expect them to joke about windows so the question is, Why not, lawyers? Apple have many lawyers?

    Windows is the most commonly used, Linux and other 3rd parties aren’t used as often.

    Why are you getting so worked up about a throwaway piece of satire in a game? Especially a GTA series game, which hardly sets out to avoid offending people.

    I’m sure that the people at Rockstar use Linux and open source software every single day of their working lives and know exactly what it can do. The Eunux thing just parodies a popular perception of Linux and the sometimes elitist attitude of open source zealots.

    It’s ‘cos Linus is shit, though really, you can’t play most games on it, what’s the point, it’s total shit. Also you have to do everything on the internet to get it and shit, you are an idiot.
