    When everyone realizes games work better under Linux and AMD, nVidia will be crying outside the gate.

    So you think Microsoft spends 8 billion dollars acquiring Bethesda Game Studios, Arkane Studios, id Software, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, ZeniMax Online Studios in 2020 and then proceeds to spend 68 billion dollars on acquiring Activision Blizzard…

    … just to stand on the sidelines watching everyone drop Windows as a gaming platform?

      They do lock you to Windows to use GamePass, but as long as the games are available on other marketplaces they’ll be playable on Linux. The Xbox app, which is what you have to use for GamePass for some stupid reason, installs games in a special encrypted format that can’t (easily) be executed from outside of it.

        So that’s why I never got into gamepass!

        I knew there had to be a reason, couldn’t be that I’m just lazy.
