Maybe they are trying to tell us the internet is giving us severe brainrot.

There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

The deck can run windows, so if it didnt run in compatability mode in linux itll work in native windows. Now if you were to put a limitation that it must acheive 30fps in any game, you might have a point, but... thats really grasping for straws.

Web servers are different from game servers. You need a lot of performance and fast low latency servers to keep up with realtime game play. Webservers however dont need that and can benefit of load balancing accross multiple servers. Scale of economy helps a lot, but with game servers the cost doesnt change much because a session has to be on a single machine.

As for distribution costs, most of the cost is manufacturing and physical distribution of discs. So yeah, they are making a killing by continuing to take a a huge cut from game sales when most of their distribution is online.

At this point, it'll be easier to count the games that wouldnt work on the steam deck.

It makes sense because servers are expensive to operate. The real scam is nintendo where you pay for P2P multiplayer...

Its probably the fact a significant amount of cheaters use linux, but the overall market of players use linux... so nuking all linux players is harmless to their bottom line.
