Is Firefox blocking tracker by default?

At the end I switched back to DDG.

Thanks for asking.

I am a very casual gamer, and at the beginning I might have struggled a bit with all the mechanics of Proton, Lutris etc etc.

When I look for games I usually double check on ProtonDB, if there is any fix to be applied. For this reason, I can say 95% of MY games are just install and play.

The only game I had a problem with was Skyrim, which needed a FPS limiter to avoid glitching at the beginning.

I started my gaming experience (PC) with Linux. So I disagree.

There are other instances where Valve is very pro users.

1. Return policy: you can return any game, if you play it less than 1 hour.
2. Valve works with iFixit to distribute parts and repair guides for the Steam Deck.
3. When Steam Deck launched, Valve replaced many Steam Decks devices, even if it was literally an user's misuse or mistake.

Just miscommunication then. All game platforms did that, so I don't understand your point on bringing this up. Sony, removed Mobile Games from PsVita. Apple removed Fortnight from AppStore (and countless other apps). Probably Microsoft did that too.

I don't know what you're complaining about.

From what I can read, the dev himself removed the game because of "stress". Steam has previously removed the game for copyright reasons, but readmitted it afterward.

The stress was due to the huge popularity the game got thanks to YouTube and Twitch.

Rejecting is different than removing.

I don't know what the problem is between the Steam Store and itch, but your Google search confirmed what I just said: Steam never removed a game just because; they removed games that break copyright rules or their TOS.

So you agreed with me then.

Interesting, thank you for the info :)

Just relax mate. This was an unnecessary comment.

Exactly, and they can simply use Windows in a virtual machine anyway.

Did you buy it for browsing and social media? Watching movies maybe? Lol

Come-on let's be honest here, most Mac users buy a Mac just for the Apple logo and nothing much.

I bought my MacBook Pro 2011, never did anything more than social and consuming medias. Any laptop would have worked out for me (since that model has Intel graphic).

Any integration between an iPhone and Mac can be achieved between an Android and a PC (Windows or Linux).

Against developers wishes? Could you tell when this has happened before?

About the lease thing I agree, but Steam didn't really remove any games, if they did was because the original devs decided so.

In most cases, the windows version will work with Lutris.

I remember I pirated God Of War and Days Gone and they worked fine.

You need to run the setup installation, and then select the game launcher (.exe) as executable.

That's exactly my point lol

I don't know man, Valve seems more pro users than Apple to be honest.

EDIT: I just want to add some context; Valve made Steam Deck fully reaperable, where Apple always adds restrictions on what you can repair in an iPhone or Mac. When I buy a device I always look for its reaparibility.

At the launch of Steam Deck, Valve was very responsive and they replaced many units (even if sometimes it was user's fault) for free, where Apple would find any way to charge you for the repair (and you know better than me how much expensive is to repair an iPhone or Mac).

But why? Why would you buy a Mac twice the price for gaming when you can buy other cheaper gaming brands?

You said it right, Apple doesn't care about gaming, and so are their customers.

Apple would not move a finger without return.

Ye, but why? Probably some deals between the two companies.

When Microsoft - Activision deal will finalize, you can forget about that too.
