It's amazing how they managed it.
>remove any semblance of fun
The driving is fun. Which is the most important part of GTA to keep in. And it actually does one over GTA by being more cartooney so the driving isn't bogged down by realism as much.
I honestly think there's a market for a cartooney GTA game. At the moment the closest thing IS hit and run.
i remember being so disappointed when i got it. i expected gta and got need for speed. i still beat it and it was decent but man it was definitely advertised as something else

i use linux because if i pirate games using windows there is a chance the games could be filled with malware
the windows software contained within wine is no threat to your linux machine
I hate to break it to you but Wine isn't a secure sandbox. Viruses designed to frick a Windows machine probably wouldn't cause harm outside of the Wine prefix, but a Windows executable could also be a virus designed to frick Linux. A default Wine prefix can even see your whole filesystem through a link at "${WINEPREFIX}/dosdevices/z:" and if you're running Wine as yourself then it has permission to do shit in your home directory.
Root is only needed for file outside of /home. WINE can access all the files your user can. WINE developers especially stress that WINE does not have any security features
You just need to know what to pirate and what site to use.
I mod games from now and then and every single one of the positive hits are from some moron adding infected .dll files to their mods.
I mean just be careful and use common sense, that's all.
Real men play NATIVE games (when they aren't made by dipshit developers who release broken trash which then gets blamed on the operating system because people can't imagine a developer doing a PEBCAK) and there are plenty of toaster-friendly indie games that run on Linux. I don't know what OP means by "low end machines" but I haven't upgraded my PC since I built it 10 years ago and I'm pretty sure this game for example would run on computers much worse than mine.
you generally want to avoid 3d games if you donn't have a vulkan capable card, wind3d isn't as performant. You can go with indie games like the binding of isaac or void stranger, even games like the original the talos principle can run in humble rigs as long as we aren't talking about the mother of potatoes.
>it's a pixelated 2d game. of course it can
Sure, it's 2D, but I don't think the size of the squares out of which the developer made its textures is actually representative of the resolution at which the game renders its graphics. It's a Unity engine game, so it's probably 9000x more demanding than required for that graphical style.
Basically almost everything thanks to Proton. I actually installed linux on purpose to play less video game sand here I am back at it because I heard of proton...
I don't know. Lots of 2-D games.
Cave Story, I guess, if you want one example.
this shit got leaked
decompiled
ported to Vita
and an open source remake
Wait, what!
Link!
if Ocarina of Time on N64 was good enough for you then this should be fine, it's not full speed yet but it's *close*
Running IBM's Linux? Who cares? It's for web servers.
Linux Mint literally isn't for web servers, though.

saints row used to hold that crown. it died in the arse after 3 though

is a kids game you jaded frick,what you expect?
to be able to kill apu or something?
I want to rape Apu but this game was too woke to allow free player expression and interactivity.
You could kick people and it was funny. I used to beat up marge with my friend and we would laugh so hard wed nearly die

you can delete the z drive symbolic link so they can't have access to it
you can also use winecfg to remove the z drive
The malware can just add it back in if it's WINE aware.
how? they need root access
Root is only needed for file outside of /home. WINE can access all the files your user can. WINE developers especially stress that WINE does not have any security features
That link wasn't owned by root. That's how you were able to delete it without sudo.
You just need to know what to pirate and what site to use.
