I hope they dont go for dolphin or cemu claiming that certain games are in their e-shop for the switch 2 release.

That’s exactly what I’m afraid of

I think this also shows how underpowered Nintendo consoles are; the Switch is essentially a slightly upgraded Wii U, which itself was only marginally better than the PS3 and Xbox 360! If Nintendo really wanted to combat piracy, all they had to do was beef up their flagship console to the point where it’s hard to emulate.

Why is Nintendo in particular this aggressive against emulators? Why haven’t we heard of Sony going after PCSX2 and RPCS3, or Microsoft going after Xenia and Xemu?

The existence of GOG and Steam is why gaming is bearable in 2024

“Unless it’s renders the product completely unusable, why spend money and fix it?”

Corporate mindset in a nutshell!

So basically IOS’s design language prior to IOS 7

You missed the main issue my friend, it’s not about having a launcher or an account, it’s the way their doing it.

Great analysis!

No wonder indie games are getting more popular each year

I’m honestly against all the other launchers too, but at the very least I’m able to make an account without inputting false location info, as well as actually buy their games! But with Playstation it’s a special case; Sony is the only gaming company that refuse to provide PSN in many countries for some fucking reason!

Well I expected that since I’m posting this on r/Steam it would be full of PC gamers, and usually PC gamers are older and therefore more mature than console gamers. I guess I was wrong!

Yes. Although on AskReddit, this question would’ve been removed by the automod because it’s technically a yes or no question.

Thank you for all the respectful comments. I complained about this on r/Steam on Reddit, thinking they’d discuss the issue like grown ups. All I got though was shit comments after shit comments, the likes of “cry about it” and “whomp whomp”, someone even dismissed my rant as a “tantrum”!

Thanks!

How can you do that? Is there a way to block a publisher on steam?

This also refused to work unfortunately.

How do I know that exactly?

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk?

Yes, it’s already installed.

Thank you for the clarification. I already know that most drivers are loaded with the kernel, and it looks like Ubuntu 23.04 is using a slightly newer kernel than other mainstream distros.

What you do once you’re on the 24.04 LTS release is up to you. By that time, other distros will probably also work out of the box too.

That’s a very good question. It is because I was using Kubuntu 23.04, and I was mostly happy with it, except for one small gripe I was facing related to KDE, and I figured if I try a different distro with KDE, I might actually solve it.

I understand that. But what’s making me scratch my head is that I tried running Linux Mint 21.2 and Debian 12, both of which to my knowledge were released very recently, and yet both failed to detect my WiFi card. Are they running an older linux kernel?
