Rules:
Breaking Linux support after-the-fact ought to be grounds for a full refund (no matter how much time or hours of play have passed). Valve ought to allow such refunds and forcibly debit Rockstar's Steam publisher account, whether Rockstar likes it or not.
Same thing happened for the whole Bioshock series. They rolled out the update just over 2 weeks after a big sale so it was beyond the standard refund policy too.
Rockstar doesn't officially support Linux though... So it's on valve that they certified it for steam deck. There's no grounds for charging that back to r*
Well they are still selling in-game money without letting anyone know that they possibly cannot use it. But guess what rockstar, if I have to choose between your games and Linux, Linux wins every time. Later...
Who cares about Rockstar's opinion of "grounds?" Valve should simply do it anyway, and kick Rockstar off Steam entirely if it bitches about it.
That's a good way to lose a lawsuit, end up giving all the money back plus interest and punitive amts, potential damages, etc. Smort.
Since GTA is a money printing machine. i doubt they’d ever do that
