He will likely introduce them to gambling anyway.

Saving what?

Any data to back that claim? I thought most of their income is from Steam and games(including those with pushing gambling on children) is a very small share.

Wonder how long it could run standalone on decent fps.

I think it says that pressure triggers can be mapped as buttons too.

I think malicious is the correct word for it.

Is it not?

Well they are being criticized for this in every relevant thread so I wonder if there’s something else for your critical thinking claim.

What criticism of Valve do you have?

Well they are pretty open on that you should not use it.

MS still depends on sales of licenses

It’s not 2014, their business was selling cloud Linux and opensource since 2018 if I remember correctly.

You are not their customer, you are their product.

Very few games require malware. They are not adding this requirement now, it was already there. American company requiring you to install malware to use their products is no better than a Saudi company. So who will be affected by this? A few dudes who pretend they like freedom but still install malware game on a malware os?

I don’t think it was their plan to make testicles things, game development is not one process but many separate processes tied together. So while several hundreds people were working on important stuff one dude could have finished their tasks and had nothing to do, so they thought why not do fun stuff quickly.

For what version of glibc?

They’re probably just saying "don’t ask us

And people will ask, and will leave negative reviews when the game doesn’t work on their heavily customised setup. They are probably already writing negative reviews, just look at the comments under the OP.

That is to be expected. Which Linux should they support? Steam Deck is ok, it’s stable, new and popular. Arch? No way. Ubuntu? Yeah, no. Any other “gaming distro” some dudes built? Who would want to support that?

So what is Linux you want companies to support?

I use Arch btw.

Why blame Cloudflare though? Make your own service or push other companies to offer their services for free like Cloudflare. If Cloudflare is “fucked” like you want to, do you think the web will become more free? No, those 20% of the web will either be gone(because it’s not free anymore), or will move to those really big corps that own the other 80% of the web.

Can’t you just use vpn?

Wasn’t Microsoft in a bad state during Balmer and it took Nadella to change focus from Microsoft developed products to cloud and selling Linux that saved it?
