boycotts can totally be effective.
But even if a million of their customers fell off the face of the earth tomorrow, nothing would change. Nintendo is too successful for their own good. I’ll never buy a Nintendo product, but let’s not fool ourselves thinking a small group of people on the internet has anything on the largest video game company in Japan.
There will always be the clueless, helpless people who maybe discovered piracy and roms a week ago and don’t realize how accessible it is, thinking it’s locked behind some paywall like drugs from the local dealer.
kind of odd how long it took Steve to see the need for more linux coverage, seeing how pro-consumer his views are, but better late than never!

ehh, tried using it . . . and a

happens. I’ll create a github issue, but at this point, I could have installed a full windows vm in less time than I spent troubleshooting this issue . . . so there’s that
$25, on release day, without DRM? LFGGGGG!!!
the copyright police have no power on the open sea of the internet. They’d have to shut down the internet itself before copies of windows could go away.
it runs a real copy of Windows
then just run windows
umm, running windows in a container is still running windows so . . . . you would still just be running windows
A lot of music production software doesn’t rely on GPU acceleration. There’s also proprietary bullshit like software that controls specific hardware, like GPU control software, MIDI devices and other random devices like things for RGB control or printers. Oh yeah, and tax software, to do taxes and whatnot, most of them are windows or mac exclusive, so that would come in handy too. I used to run a full-fat windows VM for things like these, but winboat might actually be a more tidy solution.
There’s plenty of examples of software that either will never be created on linux or proprietary bullshit that devs simply can’t be bothered to reverse engineer for linux.
super cool, even the initial teaser they put out earlier this year had my interest piqued, so to this pre-alpha gameplay inspires much confidence! 2026 gonna be a stacked year for gaming indeed.
The 42-page suit points to a raft of sexually explicit “experiences” that have been on the platform, including “Escape to Epstein Island,” “Diddy Party” and “Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe,”
Imagine having access to those types of games at the age of 9, oh how the times have changed.
if parents are letting their kids use discord, that’s the bigger issue, imo
pretty cool, mangohud is great, but having parity with features already available on windows is always a plus!
Minecraft is the most popular best selling game of all time, and the single-player mode is still being updated. Granted, many people play on multiplayer servers, but still.
At the very least, you can still pirate it and play cracked multiplayer with friends.
I made the mistake of buying the game year ago, and bought a bunch of DLC at 50% or greater sales, and now the sunken cost fallacy has taken hold on me, and I still want to buy more . . . . (at least I’m broke so I can’t right now hehehaha)
okay, I did pull that number out of my ass, but my point still stands, Nintendo will not learn their lesson by a few thousand people on the internet claiming to boycott them. I guess it would take maybe a million lost customers, but I doubt that will ever happen because the bulk of Nintendo sales go to people who only care about the games, not the company.
