I support indie developers. I loved World of Goo 1.
Sorry, but your argument is very weak. A pirated version of a game would not have additional features for no reason. A poorly done port is a poorly done port. There is no excuse of it. It may work well on the touchscreen, but I enjoy playing on my TV more.
And I am not a petty person who pirate everything as I assume you think. All I said is World of Goo 2 has unplayable control in docked mode on Switch. I would give my money to Windows/Mac/Linux version instead, where I can use a mouse.
But control scheme aside, I don't find the stages of it challenging and interesting enough for me to buy the game. In fact I stopped playing after stage 3 or so.
Not sure about it on PS5. I tried (pirated) it on Switch. The experience is awful, mostly because of the control was originally designed for a mouse. They mapped the mouse movement to the sticks and called it a final product. It's unplayable to me.
Personally I would happily let my AI bot attend the stupid scrum meetings for me. Let it tell my scrum master and stakeholders whatever the progress of my day of work and in the sprint. Don't bother me in my coding time.
Since your computer is running Windows 11 already, I would recommend you look for a Linux distro without considering if it's gaming-friendly. Linux is great for certain productivity tasks.
For dualbooting, most official Linux installation guides offer detailed steps for that. Grub (the boot management program) is well tested and widely used.
All you guys said is true. You could get hacked blah blah blah. But to a gamer, a machine exclusively for gaming doesn't take any of that as a concern. Want to hack my machine? Go ahead! As long as you don't delete my games, be my guest. I don't save credit card information on it anyway.
But none of that happens in my case. I don't game on or run Windows. I'm just here to provide a point of view.
If you stay offline, you don't need upgrading to prevent virus or hacking. That's the norm in the good old days.
