I guess real quality of life means going outside, gamers.
Recent updates to the remastered versions of BioShock 1 and 2, plus BioShock Infinite, have rendered the games unplayable for Linux users. The patches, which are called"Quality of life updates" in the, only make two deliberate changes: adding 2K account linking, and forcing the games to run through the 2K launcher"which includes a Store to purchase new content" after they boot from Steam.
It's the launcher that appears to be causing trouble for people running the games through Proton on desktop and Steam Deck, and which has completely broken Infinite's native Linux build. Theis awash with players angry that their once perfectly functional game has been broken by an update that only sought to jam yet another intermediate launcher between Steam and the actual game. The games' Steam pages have likewise recently filled up with reviews decrying the update.
performed some tests and found that—while the native Linux version of Infinite was toast—the games seemed to work on Proton 7.0-4 on Steam Deck. Trying to run them the same way on a Linux desktop was sometimes unsuccessful, though. The updates would be galling even if they didn't completely fry an entire platform's version of the game. Calling your patch a"Quality of life update" and then only inserting a completely redundant launcher in the hope that one of the players you annoy might buy something from it is already absurd. Doing all that and breaking the game too is the cherry on top of a particularly irritating parfait.
With any luck, 2K will notice it's accidentally cut off an entire operating system from the BioShock games and issue a new patch—hopefully not containing further quality of life improvements—to rectify the situation. Then again, perhaps this whole thing is just the company adopting a bold new definition of the term"quality of life". Maybe 2K just wants us to put down our Steam Decks and touch grass.
