NO

I've been following WARDOGS with genuine interest, hoping to eventually purchase and support the game once Linux compatibility through its anti-cheat was restored. I've been willing to wait, advocate for support, and give the developers the benefit of the doubt.

Unfortunately, that goodwill has run out.

The continued lack of meaningful communication regarding Linux support has already been disappointing. But now, seeing the penguin emoji being restricted on announcement posts feels like a deliberate attempt to silence a community that has been expressing interest in supporting your game financially.

Let me be clear: We're not asking for special treatment. We're asking for communication, transparency, and a little respect. You don't owe us Linux support. But we don't owe you our money, our patience, or our continued interest either.

At this point, I'm done checking in on WARDOGS, advocating for its Linux compatibility, or holding out hope that the developers will take this community seriously. I've lost any interest in purchasing the game, and I certainly won't be recommending it to others.

You've made your priorities clear, and I'm making mine equally clear.

Best of luck with the continued launch. I'll be spending my money supporting developers who actually value the communities interested in their games.

To my fellow Linux players who are still waiting on support: if you've already bought WARDOGS, please consider requesting a refund. If you haven't, please don't financially support a studio that treats its community this way. Your money is the only message that matters here.

In the meantime, there are plenty of great games that run well on Linux and respect their players, like Squad, Arma Reforger, and Insurgency: Sandstorm. Go play those, and support the developers who want you there.

None of them are a one to one match for the WARDOGS experience, and I won't pretend otherwise. And every gaming studio/community has its own problems. But at the very least, their developers are behaving better than Bulkhead Games.
