What monopoly? Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and Epic all make money hand over fist selling videogames.

Past 30 years: VIDEO GAMES ARE THE DEVIL!
Now: DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY!
On the bright side hospital and airline computers don’t have GTA installed on them
Are you sure?
Mostly that I’m bad at it and can see my imminent death coming 5 to 10 second before it actually happens.
Rain World is the most awesome and frustrating game I have ever played. I’m glad it’s still getting support.
Yay, ageism!
TikTok users are pretty evenly spread from age 10 to 50.
Valve has been the least shit player in the game distribution ecosystem for decades. Maybe they could lower their cut but the push for Linux compatibility is worth any premium they want to charge.
In 7 and 8 I really liked the Gnome-like ability to just type the first few letters of a program and hit enter. OpenShell looks like I’m not the only one.
It’s the combination of suing for sales that do not exist because they choose not to make those sales. I can’t type it any slower, man.
Nintendo shouldn’t be allowed to litigate against people they accuse of cutting into sales of not-for-sale games. They know there is a demand for their old catalog but do not release it for sale, forcing a market for piracy.
Nintendo has hundred of games that people are willing to pay massively inflated prices to play, but Nintendo would rather sue emulation projects.
Stop it, just stop. Its been too long to get my hopes up again.
Ooo, tough call. I guess EA should be in there too.
Emulation is not a crime. Refusing to re-release existing games should be.
No company hates its fan base more than Nintendo.
I had a similar problem with an NUC where the install would work but was unbootable after. In my case the USB showed up as both a BIOS and UEFI boot device and the mobo was picking the legacy mode. This made the install a legacy boot install which was not bootable.
To fix it I had to manually choose to boot the install USB’s UEFI mode.
Ditto, a purpose built gaming OS would be worth the price of avoiding Windows.
I’ll have to look again, I thought it was abandoned.
Same, I bought 7 and 10 but have since put more into Debian, Wikipedia, Archive.org and some other projects than I will ever spend again on a Windows license.
It won’t make them any more money so it’s not like there is a financial incentive for them, but they do occasionally do things just because they aren’t assholes.
In 19 years I have never been burned by Valve, in the same period I have lost access to software (and hardware) from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and Epic. They are a money making business and will always act in their own interest but so far it seems like their own interests includes not stomping on customers (in my experience).
