For the time being, Proton is good enough for me. I think devs/publishers refusing to enable their chosen anticheat to work with Proton is what is holding things back now for tech people. For other people, there's even bigger challenges, and I doubt they even read up on these "tech nightmares" so they're good with just continuing on with Windows.

Maybe they should, gasp, include chargers with phones! What a concept...

They might now they're owned by Microsoft. They've been adding games to Steam (perhaps only Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4? so far?).

I don't believe WoW is on Steam. It's likely that Steam was just open in the background and popped up over WoW.

I'd love to see another player, but I don't think this is it.

The maintainer of the application chooses the categorie(s) but manually organizing things as an end user... is kinda dumb. Maybe I don't understand your workflow (or why the Start Menu is the way it is now with all programs barfed into one list, I figured it was for touch devices). It doesn't really matter, though, because search is used primarily now, anyways. Forgetting the name of the application is the only reason I can see digging through the Start Menu now.

Maybe I need to give Cyberpunk 2077 another shot.

I preferred their nested menus to what is there now, though I started using search as soon as it became a thing (Windows 7?). They should have really implemented categories (like in Linux) early on rather than having every suite have it's own sub-menu in the Start Menu.

Like, from just reading the headline, it doesn't seem very onion-y. It's not just perfectly believable, but I sort of assumed that that is what happened.

I'm sorry, 175 GB? WTF with these game sizes.

Before private lobbies in GTA, I remember blocking ports for GTA in my firewall except to my friends' IP addresses, which worked for a while.

GTA Online has terrible monetization and Rockstar are openly hostile towards PC as a platform, but I wouldn't call GTA mediocre at all. There's nothing quite like the attention to detail or breadth of GTA games. If you've played a few GTA clones, you'll know what the competition looks like and it's not even close.
