Yeah I hear you. I also had a similar game that played with friends. PubG. But then when I switched to Linux and I couldn't play it any more. I switched to other games that I could play, some of the joined me and some didn't. I had reached a point that I wasn't willing to justify using software that was not in my control any longer. Relationships change and I chalk that up to personal growth. Some people join you, and some don't.

Not judging you, but for me I just couldn't tolerate it any longer.

Just to add a bit more context, the group of people who I play games with are not people I met playing games. They are my lifelong friends. I'm not willing to walk away from those friendships or my interactions with them for the sake of an operating system.
