It’s a baby step thing. They want to develop for Linux but so far it’s about 3% of steam users that use it. So when a studio does its testing/optimizing they focus on the platform their player base is using most.

Obviously there’s a negative feedback loop here. Players avoid Linux because of issues which causes devs to neglect it because of player numbers which causes issues in the game…

Steam is pushing Linux currently but it’s hard to overcome the dominant position windows and consoles have. We’ll get there though.

Man will rather start a fight with the biggest industry of our time than finish his book.

Flooding the zone too stronk

Working in general is lazy. Labor is for people too lazy to be CEOs. You could be hanging from your bootstraps already.

I used to play WoW 5v5 arena competitively in 2007. This was way before they went hard on e-sports so it’s not really comparable to today. Just to give you some perspective, the winning team at blizzcon got $25k which meant $5k each which (again, only in case of winning the world championship) would’ve just so covered my travel costs.

Honestly it was terrible. At first I used to play for fun and only accidentally ended up in a top team. Then my team got way too ambitious and it became more of a chore. I told them early on that I had no interest in playing like that but they couldn’t find a replacement so I kept playing with them until I was fully burned out. It was nice being good at something but it ruined the fun of it.

But a consistent amount of enshittification shocks

I think the proper term is enshittification sharts
