  If only they supported Linux. Proton support out of the box is the biggest selling point for me.

  If this was true, games would cost 18% less on EGS because they only take 12%. Shockingly enough, they cost the same.

  Show me a standard that was destroyed by EEE and I’ll show you a standard that never took off in the first place.

  It’s much faster.

  Astroturfing is a very real thing that major companies participate in to sway public sentiment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft reportedly deleting customer accounts with purchased games if they have been inactive for too long⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I said “generally.” There are a few publishers that ship empty discs, and some games that are completely broken without a day-one patch, but most still have a playable game on the disc, at least on PlayStation. On Xbox, for games that have backwards compatibility with One, they often couldn’t fit both game builds on one disc, so they made one version download-only instead of shipping two discs.

  For PC games, no, they’re not actually on the disc. For console games, they generally are the full game, albeit sometimes buggy without the day-one patch.

  I use OnShape and it works great. There is also Plasticity, a newer CAD application that has a Linux version and looks promising.
