I am, remember? I just told you that I was (is, will continue to be) a game developer. I've already considered cost of development.

Every person excluded from a purchase is money lost in the eyes of corporations. It's why boycotts work when they're properly organized. It's why microtransactions are usually less than $5. I've been in corporate meetings for game companies before, I was recently illegally fired. The addition of Linux support is coming, but the big corporations need motivation to do it quickly.

When it comes to large corporations, they're very risk adverse but will ruthlessly pursue every stray penny. It always bubbles up from the indie companies, so expect native Linux support for specifically steamOS so they don't have to contend with the GPL and FOSS advocates by 2030.

Ok so if you agree that their playerbase of millions marks a successful game, then why do you consider the possibility of millions of players insignificant?

Call of Duty is the biggest fps game in the world, every year. Their playerbase is "only" in the millions, so I suppose you agree with the executives that it's not nearly successful enough?

The steamdeck runs on Arch. Games with windows-only anticheat excludes millions of potential players.

Game publishers: but server-side anticheat is more expensive HARDDDDDD

Or something the Biden admin is doing in the last few days.

Lol I totally made it up on the spot. My thought process being:

• It at least has to not taste awful
• Vermouth is a fortified wine and vodka is a common fortifier
• Screenshots are digital images of digital imagery

Sweet vermouth and vodka. Chilled and neat

Edit: Screenshot JPEG version - add crushed ice

I certainly evened out, but I'm going to die weird and I wouldn't have it any other way

No it's not, it's an edited quote from Worf in a different context about the Bajoran Prophets. I recognize the scene though, it's a quote that would fit
