Obviously I'm not all gamers.

But I think it's ok to be outraged at every step of the usual EA pipeline of 1) Buy studio 2) force studio to make bad decisions 3) close studio, because (surprise!) they are not profitable

Must be because of all these virgins already waiting in heaven

If only we had the technology that would allow us to compile software into an intermediate language and provide a runtime for a multitude of operating systems, instead of running everything in a fucking browser. That would be so cool, that way a text editor would not need 2 Gigs of RAM. And maybe outlook would not take ages to load

We could name the technology .net or something. Or maybe name it after a coffee bean.

The Switch still offers the plug-and-play experience the other consoles lost.

The other points still apply, but the Nintendo crowd doesn't seem to mind being fucked sideways.

I do sympathize, but this isn't a new problem.
Nvidia has been shitty for a while now. On multiple fronts, not just Linux drivers.

The second best time is now, stop buying Nvidia cards.

Well Heroic uses Electron which is just another kind of slop.

Is it just me or is the headline misleading and wrong?

Why would WireGuard, VeraCrypt or Windscribe push windows updates in the first place?

If you read the actual text it says Microsoft locked out the accounts these 3 projects used to publish new versions of their software.

Apart from the fact that all things you listed exist in one form or another on GOG, have you considered that there are people that prefer not having all those random bullshit social features in their game store? Stream may be more popular, but getting out of their niche and copying steam will alienate their fans without attracting steam users.

Also fuck the workshop, it's the worst thing that ever happened to modding. It's a total pain in the ass to download and apply a mod that is only available there to any non-steam version. Additionally it produced a generation of gamers that is unable to trouble-shoot even the tiniest problem with the mods they applied.

My secondary PC has a GPU in it that is more than 16 years old. Works as if it was brand new. I'd be pretty pissed if the support for any part of that PC just ended for no other reason that a billion dollar company trying to safe a few bucks 🤷

They pulled support for a GPU still widely used. If you buy an NVIDIA GPU today you will most likely face the same problem a few years down the line.

Eh, GitHub Actions might suck. But it doesn't even come close to sucking as much as JavaScript, and most engineering teams seem to survive that just fine.

Not judging, just curious.

What games are those? In the last 12 months I tried 151 games on Linux. All of them worked, only 6 required tinkering.
