Super broad generalization, yes.
That’s one of the biggest things valve has contributed to for the Linux community, unshitifying gaming on Linux. Proton does an amazingly good job at working on most games. And steam does a great job of making it easier to use proton.
Now there are always a few problem games, mainly ones that use some crazy kernel level anti-cheat (that doesn’t work anyways). But if you’re curious look at https://www.protondb.com/
Imagine if TOTK was truly immersive with an adaptive world based on more than milestones. I wouldnt have run around 3/4th of the time being the only person that knew where Zelda really was, lol. I’d love it and would play the crap out of it (more than I already do every Zelda game), but Zelda games have never been anything like a elder scrolls or fallout type open world.
I agree that Bethesda needs to step up their QA game, but at the same time I also understand that sometimes weird stuff happens as consequence and isn’t something I’d expect a QA team to test for. Hopefully Starfield finds the right middle ground of a huge, adaptive open world and acceptable levels of QA, that they really have not hit in the past. Also hoping they release bug fixes and patches to fix the edge cases as they’re discovered… Which is another thing Bethesda has kind of sucked at in the past
Definitely a case of “good, now go do apple again”. The mobile marketplaces being locked down and tied to services is bullcrap. If I want a run of the mill open source android OS and to be able to use Gmail (or drive, or some other Google product ) I should not have to allow Google full access to the knowledge of every app I run and the screen time and my location information… Etc, etc.
But I do think the apple win on a technicality will be revisited at some point.
And to be clear, I freaking do not like Epic. But this fight they’re on the side I agree with. Open up the mobile platforms.
