The games you mentioned do not come anywhere close to the caliber of game I was asking about.

So again, the answer is no, you can not provide equivalents. As expected.

So you’re not going to provide the equivalent games, even though they’re supposedly real and I’m just bad at finding them myself? Got it. Nothing else needed to prove my point.

Find me an equivalent to Super Mario Odyssey that isn’t a teenagers first Unity project.

How about a Red Dead Redemption 2 one? Surely, Cyberpunk 2077?

Xenoblade Chronicles?

And this list is the easy one.

No, not at all. Android does lack good games that are in the same caliber as what you would find on Steam or Switch.

I can’t really stand behind and defend boycotting every defense tech investor.

I can. Easily.

And don’t let their Like buttons and cookies exist in other websites too

This is what, the fourth time a Linux community gets excited about this? But that’s actually not good for us at all. Much like Android’s safety net, or the nightmare that is the Mac equivalent, the entire point will be creating an untouchable chain from the firmware to the final OS being booted, and only allowing some apps to use a specific API to attest this isn’t compromised.

This is horrendous for people trying to modify the OS or, in a more relevant tone, run programs meant for that OS on an entirely different environment. Microsoft has slowly been moving towards making this work on PCs, mostly due to pressure from DRM providers like Netflix or banking apps, but unlike Apple they can’t simply lock everything down at once and say “deal with it” because Windows lives by backwards compatibility. Either way, this is just another step towards this upcoming future.

If your favorite games now start asking Windows if the chain of trust is not tampered with… say goodbye to compatibility with Proton.

By that metric, you can argue Kasparov isn’t thinking during chess

Kasparov’s thinking fits pretty much all biological definitions of thinking. Which is the entire point.

That entire paragraph is much better at supporting the precise opposite argument. Computers can beat Kasparov at chess, but they’re clearly not thinking when making a move - even if we use the most open biological definitions for thinking.

Apple is significantly behind and arrived late to the whole AI hype, so of course it’s in their absolute best interest to keep showing how LLMs aren’t special or amazingly revolutionary.

They’re not wrong, but the motivation is also pretty clear.

It doesn’t “need” to be anything. It could be a DKMS module that is mandatory for playing a game.

Whether people would like it and use it is a completely different story.

Certainly depends on where you live.

Unlocking a Samsung phone is trivial here.

Absolutely nothing prevents somebody from writing a kernel level anticheat on Linux.

Users would throw a fit, and it would be way easier to bypass, but it certainly could be made.

not generations before

If by “Generations” you mean the literal previous generation that was advertised as backwards compatible and where many of the games won’t receive specific patches precisely because running natively and better was one of the key features of the new console… Sure, I guess.

with consoles, it’s 100% of the time

Several Switch 1 games are facing issues on Switch 2, including broken textures, crashes and weird behavior. This whole “consoles are 100%!” idea has been dead since the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation.

Making up scenarios and claiming to know what the response would be sure is a way to make an argument.

I mean, the worse most laughable way, but it’s a way indeed.

So should Walmart stop selling products that I deem unfit based on my personal preferences too? Say goodbye to animal fats, products made in the US, ultra processed foods, some fruit I just don’t like the taste of, all Nestlé products…

I think you get the point.

I couldn’t give less of a fuck about any company or their “projects”, selling a product is not a mission to empower users and help the world or some bullshit like that.

What’s Steam got to do with Borderlands 2 having a rootkit?

The Nintendo 3DS is got three separate CPUs just to guarantee perfect backwards compatibility, and this shit console can’t work with a pretty much identical architecture from a few years ago?

What’s even the point of buying a console over a PC if there are caveats to the software that will work? The entire point of a console is that if a game exists for it, it can run it. Not “1.07% of them boot but can’t be played!”
