Yes, but ideally it’s not just up to the enthusiasts. I feel like ideally this will become officially supported by the hardware vendor and in the future the default os on the device! That’s how you get market share and people to adopt it.
And Valve because it doesn’t have investors that yell “More PROFIT RIGHT NOW”, they can play in the long game, which other companies cannot do, because of investor pressure. Investor pressure for quick profits is what causes companies to cannibalize themselves and their future success.
I want to see all of the handhelds that have poor performance because of Windows bloat move to SteamOS and see an improvement. This will be such a huge blow to microsoft, SteamOS will get a bigger market share, because for that form factor it is the best OS! And I hope that developers will make Linux more important in their list because of this. Gaming is slowly going to become even less important on Windows. I want fucking Microsoft to be forced to offer a better Windows experience. I want competition again! Right now, Microsoft can fuck everyone over because they can, I hope that won’t be the case anymore.
What I’m wondering: is this going to happen to the many streaming services as well?
They’re many and expensive. Are they going to consolidate in a few or are they going to lower their prices so that they don’t continue to lose users?
