If you pick hardware/features from company that don't support your OS of choice, I don't see this to happened, not just in future, but ever. Just picture someone buying software/hardware for Sony's FreeBSD (PlayStation) and expecting it to work on Windows: this doesn't make any sense.

Linux is an insane exception to this because it's the Linux community of engineers who reverse engineered. It's not about wait for "Linux has to be ready", but be sure the money you thrown at your hardware are well spent.

If AMD company suddenly shut down, your hardware on Windows is just an unsecured brick which in few years become useless. On Linux it will be always supported, bug fixed and updated thanks to OpenSource drivers.

I don't know what's going on with your steam install to take this much time to log you in, but it looks like your Linux install is left with some dangling parts.

First, we need to be clear if we're talking about Torvald's Linux vs Microsoft's Windows... or a bunch of company that don't give a fuck about you.

Sound boards, GPU and all this insane amount of hardware runs on Linux better than any Microsoft thing may ever hope to. Your issue with your sound card is not Linux... it's called "Creative".

There are way to develop sound cards and have them working on day -1 (even a day before it's release)... and way to put trick and trinkets in the binary blob without documenting anything (or, more precisely, keeping purposely hidden, since you always need source code to make binaries blob). In this case the Linux community rip and tear every detail by their own: the time took is never Linux or Linux's community but, put more plainly, just the company who took your money and said to you " oh! So you want to run this thing on your Linux install? Well, what about: fuck you! Is that OK?"

All you have listed are IP, as Nintendo one; the issue is that Nintendo's IP can be commercially produced for Nintendo's hardware only. PC don't have "company IP" (and that's one of its strength, openness), even Commander Keen appeared on Gameboy Color.

In order to keep with PC openness nature, I would suggest something that come from and to the community itself:

Weaknesses: Often spaces out remembering old consoles that have passed on (e.g. Dreamcast, Super Nintendo), bursts into tears from these memories as well

Easy as

I/II= ,V

(OK, that was confusing, it's I/II= .V in barbaric` )

They may still subsidized by Microsoft or other strategic partners (like McAfee antivirus). IE: Microsoft could promise a share cut on every videogame sale made a registered xbox handheld; while this is still not enough to sell at loss, they (the OEM) may still consider reduce/forfeit they expected earning from each piece of hardware sold.

...but will it have AI? I mean truly random AI gimmick like Pilot/Cortana whatever. People expected their HMPC for gaming insanely performing and slick, with no bloatware at all... but only Microsoft knows what you all need is some company AI thing that drain processing power to interact with Microsoft servers and spy on you. Nobody knows better than Microsoft how to Zune their way in a new entertainment industry

Neither is right: written text is not people, and text without people is either right or wrong until someone read. Only people reading can make the text true, also, you're a moron.

...it's just a joke, jeeeez.

Make small admission to hide a bit trick.

They never care about having a good video game store, they want a good frontend for Fortnite.

Epic is eyeing Roblox: any good game made, no matter where it is sold, will become endlessly cloned in Roblox... almost all the money spend in Roblox, remain in Roblox.

A good game in Epic Game Store? Soon or later it will go on Steam, and Epic will lose some potential money, will go on PSN, and Epic will lose some potential money, will go on Xbox Store and, you guessed, Epic will lose some potential money.

They are pushing hard for artist and coder to get stuck in the Fortnite "Roblox Wannabe" metaverse; that's their only true goal. Lure developer, trap developers (I would say "Roblox lure child, trap child", but it sound excessively weird)

I hope more and more indie will start taking Unity space away and turn to Godot,: foolish CEO can destroy the indie alternative to AAA status equo ( Sony, Microsoft, and Epic as their servant). But once on Godot, the engine is in fully in the hands of the people.

They see Epic Game Store as constant revitalization, together with free game: the idea is, indie developers come to EGS to have their recognition (like among us, rocket league, lethal company and many other had); once in the EGS will bombard the customs with fortnite deals... in some cases even cloning successful indie game mechanics in fortnite (it did happen with among us). Basically they want to brute force the indie gaming industry in fortnite: the "metaverse" money they all see in roblox (Facebook, google etc.)

What am I missing here?

Roblox, aka: the money Epic wants
