I am not gonna use SteamOS. But if a bunch of regular folk do, then it might convince peripheral and game makers it'd be worth putting in a modicum of effort to support linux. That's why I'm excited for SteamOS.
Hell, Steam's adds overhead. I turn it off most of the time and just tab out. Most things run in borderless window mode now so there's no reason not to.
Oh don't get me wrong! I also only learned about water toxicity when I was very much an adult.
But the difference between us and the type of person I'm talking about, is that we (I'm presuming on your part) don't think fluoride in water is a bad thing.
The kind of person who hears "the government adds CHEMICAL_NAME to water" and assumes that's a bad thing is the kind of person who will not believe drinking too much water can kill you, even (or especially) if they are told by an expert.
I've been told it caches that data for areas you have been. But that doesn't make it offline friendly, obviously.
Also what you're suggesting is more dev work to make it not a live service with the associated benefits for the publisher, so they're not gonna do that. :(
I have a friend who plays, and they suggested that maybe putting it right onto gamepass -- allowing Johnbro McFuck to download it, get lost in a cloud, crash into the ocean and never play again -- during the launch window might not have been a great idea.
The people who need to hear this sadly would not believe that too much water can kill you even if you showed them someone die from it, I fear. I'd also be shocked if they read "water poisoning" and didn't think of poisoned water.
