- Comment on Lack Of Interest In The PS5 Pro Is Forcing Scalpers To Sell Them For A Loss 1 week ago:
Fair, but that’s not a console problem, they shipped the game in a bad state. (Or, at least, that’s my experience)

Because you can just sit and play. No doubts about if it will work nor performance, no adjustments, no stress of any kind, just play. I like PC gaming, but consoles have their appeal.
- Comment on Starlink says it will block X in Brazil 2 months ago:
Yeah, but some damage is already done, some contracts with public entities like the military and schools in amazon are now under investigation and may be cancelled.
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 5 months ago:
Some bpap sessions helped me get off bed after COVID, and gym helped me get back to “normal” after some months. Don’t know if it can help you, but hope you get better.
- Comment on PlayStation 5 Generation Is Already Sony's Most Profitable Yet 5 months ago:
More profits with fewer (single generation) games. Impressive.

Everybody has the right to be wrong I guess xD

Yes Linux users generate great reports because they care and usually are more knowledgeable.
But treat the reports cost time and work, and usually the problems will happen for the majority of their use base.
So, as the company, you can have 0.1% of your sales generating 20% of extra work that will not benefit 99.9% of the rest of the users. It is easier and cheaper to cut that group (us Linux users) instead of support.

Inform yourself what Steam Linux Runtime is before making such comments. You are 100% wrong.
If a game depends on an API and this API gets discontinued, without adaptation it will have problems. That’s true for any software and any system. As a compatibility layer, Proton can keep old games compatible despite the system changes when it translates the API calls that the games depend on to what the base system has to offer. (I’m not talking necessarily of a game running on Steam in this case)
So, enlighten me, where am I wrong?

If that was the case, no console ports would exist, except maybe Xbox because Xbox uses modified Windows internally.

The cost to maintain “native” ports is too high to make sense for most developers.
- Comment on Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut no longer available on Steam in almost 180 countries due to PSN requirement 6 months ago:
I don’t think that the kind of data Sony (PSN) has enough value to be considered an asset.
- Comment on Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut no longer available on Steam in almost 180 countries due to PSN requirement 6 months ago:
I don’t think they can replace Steam, PC gamers trust Steam… a lot. But with the exclusives they can have an offer compelling enough to be real competition. Maybe offer the game on PC and their consoles for example (that would be neat).
- Comment on Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut no longer available on Steam in almost 180 countries due to PSN requirement 6 months ago:
My hypothesis: They are preparing to compete with Steam, and to do so they need to have a compelling argument to make PC gamers consider their store instead of Steam. EPIC became relevant by giving free games for years; Sony will build an exclusives’ portfolio and then launch its own store. As this store will be available only where PSN already is, they probably don’t want to commit to keep the game working on these countries after migrating from Steam, so better to not sell now to avoid headaches later.
