Look at where you are at “linux_gaming” proton is not a vpn, but a wine wrapper. I get warnings all the time from Apex’s anticheat “failing” havent been banned, but wouldnt suprise me it would cause a false positive.

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.

I always found it strange… insurances offer a “free” annual exam, but if you need additional testing and care, you get fucked. Youd think snipping health problems in the butt as they prop up would be an incentive to reducing costs. But it just shows how corporations give zero thought to actually care and is more incentivized for people to keep paying insurances and never use it except when they are likely to expire…

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

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

Also… the rich were the caused the great depression.

How close are they to horseshoes?

So what would hold that title?

Ok… if i give up my phone, i feed a family for a week. If bezo gives up a yacht, he feeds 1,000 familes for life. See the problem here?

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.
