    My solution is to not have/buy a console (and the DS screen starts to be too small) and I’m on Linux.

    Which means I don’t buy 80€ games.

    That’s people’s problem, they must consume this new branded thing, again and again. Think about it, you have a million people buying whatever shit you make just because of brand/publicity, it will become more important to have the brand going, making the right publicity, than making an extraordinary game.

    That said, I’d kill for a sweet semi turnbased “nineties” rpg. I do not play many games, they are rare on linux 😔.

      the things they were complaining about in the top comment go beyond consoles, they are a problem with PC games too. even on steam and linux. you’d have to buy exclusively from DRM free platforms like GOG.

      also games are not that rare in linux, most work well via steam.

        In a bubble, I’d agree with you on Steam vs. Sony vs. GOG.

        But you can’t just analyze purely based on principles and logic, there are real life precedents for Sony removing content people purchased with no refund nor any form of customer outreach.

        This has never happened on Steam, so in my view you can’t equate Sony and Steam. I would say GOG is better than Steam if GOG didn’t send nazi shit to people.

        I tried to run Desperados, no go. Red alert/C&C too.

        I’m no guru when it comes to all this luti/vm(the graphics never works well or fast)/bottle/ other stuff.

        Steam is good though.
