      This bit me before. It seems like some PlayStation game ports use those commands. Both Helldivers 2 and Death Stranding wouldn’t work for me because of this.

  I figured it was related to the hardware architecture, but I’m curious if this is for security reasons (potential exploits) and/or a support bandwidth concerns managing 2 OS code bases (on top of the obvious revenue from new licenses). If the hardware security isn’t the issue, then switching to Linux is a good money saving choice for those that are tech savvy.
