It wouldn't astonish me if this were a semi-deliberate act by microsoft. While they're trying very hard to expand to every platform, non-windows pcs seem to be the exception. Linux and OSX have the game gamepass support as your phone.

Okay dank I had no awareness of proton, this is very encouraging! Thanks!

It's been a hot minute since I've used a linux distro for personal use, but I've got a laptop that probably needs to move over. That being said, I would still LIKE to play some windows exclusive games on that machine. Is wine still the go to for fudging compatibility? How good is it? Will I be able to download windows only steam games with relatively low effort for such uses?

It is illegal in the EU. This was announced specifically for the US

Tell that to the long haul truckers being arrested for not speaking English.

This isn't even that big of a step from before. Went abroad with a white passing friend named Alejandro YEARS ago. When we came back, it was made clear that US customs had a quick line and a brown line, and my friend was in the latter. I was through in 10 minutes or less, wondering what happened to my friend, who was told he wasn't allowed to use his phone, for the better part of an hour

As a reminder for those you in the comments. "Climate change is real, but it's too late to do anything" is the new "climate change is real but it's not man made," which was the new "climate change isn't real"

Danger to pedestrians is why they're illegal in the EU, no?

Agreed. Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good. Even if it ONLY makes bribery more expensive, is that not a good thing?

I don't think I agree on them going all in for TES6, I think oblivion and the upcoming fallout 3 remake (confirmed by court docs ages ago) are probably going to lean into monetized mods, just like skyrim has been for the last decade. Skyrim's creation club made it a pseudo live service game, where they can maintain bethesdas tiny team size (Relative to most AAA devs) and still get ongoing payout for a decade or more, letting players generate new content to buy into. Optimistically this means they'll have plenty of funding for TES6 to hire some decent writing staff and put together something great that's presumably been at least thought about the last 14 years since Skyrim, but it might just be going into Microsoft's coffers.

I know the guy who made this! He distributed it among acquaintances and I lost 6 hours of my life going "this is too much, but I can't stop"
