I bought this game on EPIC games because I wanted to play it. I bent over backwards to get this thing to run well because I wanted the full experience. I built a windows PC just for it.

It's a pain playing it on Linux I'm basically forced to run a modified pirated version of a game I paid for to get a consistent experience.

I hope that maybe they will release a complete edition of Alan Wake 2 on steam when Control 2 finally hits because this is the kind of game that people want access to the back catalogue to theorize about.

Please reiterate your statement but instead using the "goose chase meme" format.

Same as it ever was.

Big companies with no vision of the future are often ripe for disruptive tech to harvest. We'll see what happens. The apple "visio pro"" is not the future of the company.

Oh my ... That's awful. I'm just discovering this myself. Even IGN put out an article https://www.ign.com/articles/near-bsnes-remembrance

I agree. A digital file is written to disk yet has no second hand value because of the nature of replication. Your books have value after you've read them because it's not easily replicated and has more value beyond its basic consumption. It can be collected, displayed, traded, burned... It has all sorts of intrinsic value beyond the words on the page.

It's as if the printing of the media to a physical device in the end provides you a solid copy but not the rights to the work contained inside of it. You're not allowed to modify and distribute those works as that violates copyright.

I feel like the individual ownership of physical media actually protected copyright and now in the digital era, the lack of ownership is subverting its own purpose. We as a people never understood or acknowledged the implicit agreement that came with the acquisition of our books and DVDs. We ignore all the legal messaging and even made fun of it. We laughed when we realized "How could they ever enforce this?!" And so we didn't care.

Now here we are, learning in real time how it will be enforced.

"I'm not a Hitler!" Screams the politician

"That's probably exactly what a Hitler would say!" - Americans treating politics like a game of Werewolf.

Taylor Swift isn't real, her whole existence is a psy-op.

I've seen people argue that looter shooters were the hot game when this was designed but in the time it took to make this game they went out of style and now it just seems tired and hack because it's seven years too late.

I don't know if I buy that argument though...

You are on point with this analysis.

Big number must go up always

Valve won't directly support your desktop. I recommend trying out Universal Blue distributions like Bazzite-nvidia or ChimeraOS if you're on AMD graphics. This has worked well enough for me (Nvidia drivers still suck on most Linux distros).
