since 2016, valve has been paying for wine development. They didn’t just nab it.
Also, calling proton a wrapper is a bit ingenuous. Proton is basically wine with upstream patches that wine will not accept. It’s not a wrapper for wine and related software.

I don’t think blizzard gets as much hate as it should but I think the reason is simple. :/
i want you to consider that fact that blizzard is a 30 billion dollar company meanwhile nintendo is closer to a 2.5 trillion dollar company. There’s going to be a lot more eyes at nintendo than blizzard which will bring more hate to it specifically :/

you’re right about other companies being worse, but that doesn’t make it ok for nintendo to do what it’s doing. They 100% deserve the hate that they get, which was my point really.

It’s not that they want money, Nintendo is mainly anticonsumerist, but they’re also a terrible, evil company. Here’s a couple examples why i think so off the top of my head:
- Locked down hardware. Well, at least they try to lock it down as much as possible.
- Insane prices for hardware and games. (50 quid for base Animal Crossing fucked me off when I realised that the DLC costs 50 quid fucking more, i returned my Switch).
- Shitty customer service (look up joy con drift)
- Lawsuits left and right:
- DMCA to strike down FOSS emulators because they included a 16 byte decryption key that’s literally public knowledge at this point. Funnily enough, they use a similar FOSS emulator in their own products.
- Sued the small company that owns Pal World because they included some of their “patents”. We all know that’s bullshit.
- Sued a journalist for writing for a blog about piracy and fucked his life despite him having no involvement in any of the development. (he was forced to take a deal to avoid them making things worse.)
- Sued a guy who did in fact enable piracy. That’s fair. Taking 30% of his income for the rest of his life is fucking evil.
- Fucked over streamers playing the game on release day because they were in an earlier timezome than japan…
- Fucked over creators playing their games with an emulator.
- Fucked over creators on all platforms in general for literally no reason.
- Took down many MANY fan projects because they could.
- They got mad at event organisers and pulled out last minute because the organisers used a mod to allow internet multiplayer, which caused the official Smash tourney to be cancelled during covid…
meanwhile Valve:
- makes the hardware as open as possible:
- also literally wrote proton
- also feel free to use any input device to play games
- also your game console is a fully functional computer you can do whatever the fuck you want with.
- also, your screen broke? Here, let me help you fix it.
- charges reasonable amounts:
- 30% from the developer is industry standard
- has frequent sales
- orange box costs like a quid on sale and the lastest halflife costs about 20 on sale.
- you can “return” games if you don’t like them.
- first class customer service.
- got a guy arrested for hacking and leaking their source code, which is fair.
- allows and enourages modding.
- massive supporter and contributor of tournaments of their games
- allows the use of their IPs in transformative ways (3rd party games, sfm, etc).
but yeah. They’re clealy the same thing. no differences whatsoever.

They fit GTA V on a single disk on launch. Sure, textures were blocky and effects looked like piss but you could play the entire game offline.

In the same way that someone replaced all rainbow flags with confederate battle flags in Spiderman, someone’s gonna mod the game to change the character’s texture, then racists will also be happy (unless the game is shitty idk).

I’m not embarrased of being wrong lmao, but you’re right about America doing that shit. That place is a lost cause ngl. I was thinking more about europe.
And I don’t know about my bias, but i’ve seen a lot of things and know a lot of history.

the information you were receiving
same goes to you lmfao
hundreds of millions that China has lifted out of extreme poverty
I can also lift millions of people out of poverty by lowering the poverty line. 🤡
you do hear, get video clips, and see constant reposts when an escalator has a catastrophic failure a decade ago.
nah, my info’s pretty fresh. I’ve never seen western countries detain people randomly and then condem them to death tho.

i know what survivorship bias is, you 5iq inbread. But imagine for a second actually challenging my fucking claims instead of blindly gulping down china’s dick
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 3 weeks ago:
In my opinion they only have solar and batteries going for them. Cutting edge silicon is nowhere to be found in China which I think it’s a lot more important.
I would not take any Chinese numbers at face value. Especially when it comes to costs, training, running, etc.
Also (tangent warning), i feel like their AI project was a part of some propaganda by their part. Like, it’s fed Chinese facts like “nothing happened in 1989” or “China had never been in an armed conflict” or “China has never had famines”. Making it open source exports just their propaganda which I feel was the secondary goal in all this.

China king of tech advancement
yeah right.
- EVs that blow up easily.
- DeepSeek AI being a wrapper for ChatGPT’s API.
- Skidded designs (aircraft, cars, etc)
- infrastructure that barely holds itself together (tofu dreg)
The only thing they consistantly innovate is how to fuck over their own population.

There’s this Polish joke that’s been going around. If you want to find out if your wife or your dog loves you more, shut them both in the trunk of your car and leave for an hour. Upon your return, observe who is truly happy to see you.
