Could also be a difference in the games. But I just dump the folder into the default wine prefix and run them from there.

What kind of issues do you expect with cracked games? Maybe I’m lucky, but the 20+ cracked games I tried worked perfectly fine in WINE.

Apart from the fact that all things you listed exist in one form or another on GOG, have you considered that there are people that prefer not having all those random bullshit social features in their game store? Stream may be more popular, but getting out of their niche and copying steam will alienate their fans without attracting steam users.

Also fuck the workshop, it’s the worst thing that ever happened to modding. It’s a total pain in the ass to download and apply a mod that is only available there to any non-steam version. Additionally it produced a generation of gamers that is unable to trouble-shoot even the tiniest problem with the mods they applied.

My secondary PC has a GPU in it that is more than 16 years old. Works as if it was brand new. I’d be pretty pissed if the support for any part of that PC just ended for no other reason that a billion dollar company trying to safe a few bucks 🤷

They pulled support for a GPU still widely used. If you buy an NVIDIA GPU today you will most likely face the same problem a few years down the line.

Underhand is a nice little resource management game.

Not judging, just curious.

What games are those? In the last 12 months I tried 151 games on Linux. All of them worked, only 6 required tinkering.

Apple can’t even be arsed to support games that were released on their own platform like 5 years ago. Why would they suddenly start bothering to support games released for other platforms?

Have you tried real carbonara? It’s not the same as this ready made goop.

Just to clarify: selling this fake carbonara is fine, I’m even sure it tastes fine. But calling it carbonara (without weasel-words like carbonara-style or some such) absolutely is a problem.

In my country (which is not Italy) the popular variant is making it with whipped cream, which again, tastes fine, but it’s not carbonara, but many restaurants have the fake carbonara on their menu labeled as normal carbonara, which totally sucks. And shit like these glasses with fake carbonara just makes this worse.

Labeling for food is protected in Europe for this exact reason. It’s done for lots of food from parmesan to champagne.

More importantly: I no longer support Microsoft
