That’s true, but those days are long behind us. Now, games are released in an unfinished state and require, at the very least, a day-one patch for any hope of a non-buggy experience. It’s sad affairs everywhere in all aspects of the industry.

Can report that ALVR with a Quest 2 works great.

Unpopular opinion, but hype for GTA 6 died to me when they showed their disdain towards Linux users. They’ve always been shitty towards PC, but enough is enough.

I remember the physical media PC game days. At the end, the games had horrible copy protection/DRM. I remember not having an internet connection for a while and I went to buy a game that I could play. All the games on the shelf had a notice on the box that said “internet connection required”. Single player games needed to be activated, and if you ran out of activations you either had to contact the company to reset it or you were shit outta luck. I far prefer the combination of Steam and GoG.

Publishers already tried this (EA, Ubisoft, etc) and it didn’t really work. They came back to Steam.

And that’s a deal breaker for me

Nvidia graphics, weird. Looks like a Macbook. Also not a huge fan of Gnome, but still good to see them get some support.
