‘Rocket League’ To Drop Linux and Mac Support

Long-time Slashdot reader Motor writes: Rocket League — a very popular multiplayer game — will no longer “be patched” for Linux and the Mac after March — say the publisher, Psyonix… The publishers say it’s motivated by the need to support unspecified “new technologies”. Thanks Psyonix. The announcement says their final patch “will disable online functionality (such as in-game purchases) for players on macOS and Linux, but offline features including Local Matches, and splitscreen play will still be accessible.” “Players on Mac can try running Rocket League on Windows with Apple’s Boot Camp tool,” explains a support page, while adding in the next sentence that “Boot Camp is not something Psyonix officially supports.” And if you play Rocket League on Linux, “you can try Steam’s Proton app or Wine. These tools are not officially supported by Psyonix.” The support page also includes instructions on how to request a refund.
