gaming does work very well with it.

…is worth mentioning that gaming on LInux doesn’t work very well because middle ware (anticheat and stuff) do expect weird things designed by Microsoft. See this in the case of ACPI:

It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. Maybe there is no way to avoid this problem but it does bother me. Maybe we could define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not the others even if they are open. Or maybe we could patent something related to this. Bill Gates quote

Nintendo hardware is, most importantly, Nintendo hardware. If the next switch drop Tegra in favor of something from Intel/AMD… the whole Nintendo industry (and the whole library in the Nintendo’s store) goes to Intel/AMD.

On Steam Deck you have a different kind of completion: the margin you make in the industry (PC gaming) will be always up to your innovation as company (Valve can’t do nothing to kick out Nvidia out of the PC gaming inndustry).

On the other side, if Nvidia keeps ignoring Steam Deck…AMD keep arise in the whole PC gaming industry with their tech (which, since is open, it’s more favorable for the end-user but not for Nvidia’s closed-walled-ambitions)

Generic EA hate aside, they want to drive away from licensed IP. Their latest burn was FIFA, which was a long legacy of earning for EA with little to nothing effort… then they broke with FIFA (the organization) and now a big chunk of their historical earning is scrapped away.

The logic here is: “if the game is good, I bring more value to Disney, but then that fricking mouse (the non CC0) can kick me out and switch my press-work to the franchaise (on SW universe) to a company that directly compete with me (ie: Ubisoft)”.

Aside from this: fuck EA.
