Way I see it is it just stops being a live service game, and stays at the latest version, which is the one you can then host.

It could be that you’re unfortunately not in the list I guess. Also I don’t even remember if they actually advertise it when it’s applied.

GOG does have regional prices though? Or am I mistaken? I believe it’s not for every single currency, but unless I’m completely wrong it’s there.

Nice. Did not answer anything, did not point out where I’m simping, or being a fanboy. I’m not pro Nvidia, nor AMD, nor anything (rather than that I’m pretty anticonsumerism actually, not that you care).

You’re being extremely transparent in your bad faith.

Please read my entire comment, I also said your experience as one person is statistically insignificant. As in, you cannot rely on 1 bad experience considering the volume of GPUs sold. Anybody can be unlucky with a purchase and get a defective product, no matter how good the manufacturer is.

Also, please point out where I did any fanboyism. I did not take any side in my comments. Bad faith arguments are so weird.

I don’t know, real world data maybe? Your one, or 2, or even 10 experiences are very insignificant statistically speaking. And of course it’s not a rare story, people who talk online about a product are most usually people with a bad experience, complaining about it, it kinda introduces a bias that you have to ignore. So you go for things like failure rates, which you can find online.

By the way, it’s almost never actually a fault from AMD or Nvidia, but the actual manufacturer of the card.

Edit: Not that I care about Internet points, but downvoting without a rebuttal is… Not very convincing

Wait wait wait… If I push your theory a bit, it then means that Nvidia could crush AMD at any time, becoming a full fledged monopoly (and being able to rake in much more profits), but they are… Deciding not to? Out of the goodness in their hearts maybe?

That kind of comment always feels a bit weird to me; are you basing AMD’s worth as a GPU manufacturer on that one bad experience? It could just as well have been the same on an Nvidia chip, would you be pro-AMD in that case?

On the Intel part, I’m not up to date but historically Intel has been very good about developing drivers for Linux, and most of the time they are actually included in the kernel (hence no download necessary).

we don’t need so many MBAs anymore

Fixed it for you ;)

And RGB LEDs, gotta remember those!

By design? Man I need me some of that tinfoil…

What @[email protected] was talking about was awareness, and you said no then proceeded to talk about something else entirely. It does raise awareness, as shown by the fact that we are talking about it.

Oh that makes sense, thanks.

Hum, why does the removal of numbers matter? Is it to do with impersonating other users?

Yeah, “linuxism”, that must be it… That or it’s possible that the OS and distributions have evolved while you were not looking.

Linux dominates on servers because of that yes. Also because of its licensing costs, being open source, stable, secure (please don’t try to tell me Windows is more secure, please please please), better performance and lesser response time. Because a Debian stable will never break with simple security updates. I am also quite curious about getting a source for that claim that Windows Server is coming back.

Finally, do tell me where I mentioned MacOS. Unless you think that MacOS and Linux are the same? That wouldn’t surprise me considering your apparent knowledge (or lack of) about Linux. FYI MacOS is based on a BSD kernel.

Funny, that’s not the experience of the majority of people in this thread. Several flavors of Linux that have been listed are rock solid and require little to no user action to work and launch games. You can list all of the problems you want, that’s just 1 person’s experience. It could be because of the distribution you chose, because of your skills, anything. But it’s not statically relevant.

Also, please, Windows is known, has been known, and probably will be known for having shit break randomly. Don’t you think there would be a tiny bit more Windows dominance on the servers side if the opposite were true?

Linux in no way means that “random shit breaks for no reason”, if anything that’s Windows. Some distributions may be easier to break if you don’t know what you are doing but that is not an OS problem.

The other answer from @[email protected] tells you that now
