Wardogs: De gevolgen van Linux-ondersteuning op de multiplayer FPS
Kort samengevat
- Wardogs, de nieuwe multiplayer FPS van Bulkhead, heeft controverses rondom Linux-ondersteuning en indrukwekkende spelersaantallen tijdens de playtest en open beta.
- De keuze van Bulkhead om geen officiële Linux-ondersteuning te bieden heeft geleid tot onvrede binnen de Linux-gemeenschap.
- Tijdens de open beta trok de game meer dan 245.000 concurrente spelers, wat de aantrekkingskracht van de multiplayer ervaring benadrukt.

Tweet van @ModernWarzoneTweet van @ModernWarzoneA big new military FPS, Wardogs (not to be confused with the 2016 Jonah Hill/Miles Teller crime-comedy War Dogs) launched today in early access on Steam, and it's off to a hot start. The shooter reached 300,000 peak concurrent users on Steam right out of the gate and the $40 game is currently Steam's No. 1 best-seller. Pretty impressive for a game that the developer told you not to buy .

Tweet van @WARDOGSTweet van @WARDOGSGiven the flood of players, developer Bulkhead instituted a server queue system, and this quickly became something of a meme on social media. Players shared screenshots of the queue and their place in it--some people reported having more than 300,000 people in line in front of them . Yeesh.
Tweet van @WARDOGSTweet van @WARDOGSBulkhead responded to the brutal queueing situation, saying it was partly due to the developer being "rate limited." The company said it was working with Valve to resolve this limit and get an increase in line with "larger titles."
