They’re all Latin dialects…

GNU Hurd Is Almost There!!!

Also Rocket League was bought by EGS and turned exclusive after it already had a following

Doesn’t change that the cited growth happened recently which is years after the takeover.

Too bad you have neither a clue nor some talent to at least make a funny comment.

Buying games on Steam serves 100% my self interest. Some of that money goes into improving open source Linux technologies which I personally benefit from.

If you cannot make factual comments, at least learn how to be funny instead.

Why is Lemmy so against the existence of nuance?

if you use unreal engine but don’t sell on egs they get a 5% royalty fee on all your sales.

Sounds like abusing market power.

But Epic is super successful. Its Unreal Engine has almost the entire gaming landscape in a stranglehold and is making big gains in film productions.

Fortnite is one of the most successful games on Earth and EGS exclusive Rocket League recently achieved one million concurrent players.

You don’t need to even have the launcher installed to claim the free EGS games. I usually claim them to support the developers.

Still, Steam does dominate a massive portion of the PC market.

Steam revenue in 2023: USD 8.5 bn.

Overall PC gaming revenue that year: 45 bn.

Steam is big but the biggest cash cows are Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft. Neither is on Steam.

Also, Microsoft uses their Windows monopoly to ship the Xbox Games store to almost every PC user.

If Steam had a dominating market position, the EU would have classified it as a gate keeper under the Digital Markets Act.

But it will come back at the next big update.

Not if the update is called Bazzite.

Ubuntu is the windows of linux

Way less successful, though.

It wasn’t for a while.

Cannot read a German news article about German news? Your problem. I’m 100% correct.

Politician A sells out to MS

The previous administration did.

Migration back to Windows begins

Which the previous administration did do and the new administration did not reverse on desktops. Windows and MS Office remain in use.

Politician B says “hell no” (hyperbole) to Microsoft switch back

There was no “hell no”. They adopted a few FOSS tools on Windows. Windows and MS Office remain in use. I already provided a source from June 2025, so quite recent.

Politician B halts the migration

You clamed there was no Microsoft migration. You claimed that any sort of Migrosoft migration is garbage misinformation. You’re a blatant liar.

The meme about Valve/Steam “does nothing, keeps winning” is mostly true (I don’t think the average gamer knows about Valve’s contributions to FOSS).

Because of Fortnite EGS has a very big installed base. People added their friends on Epic because of Fortnite. And yet gamers buy other games on Steam instead. That may have something to do with the fact that the main page of EGS mainly promotes Epic’s own games, whereas Steam promotes third party games first.

“In May 2020, it was reported that the newly elected politicians in Munich, while not going back to the original plan of migrating to LiMux wholesale, will prefer Free Software for future endeavours.”

So you lied. You claimed that Munich said “Hell no” to Microsoft Migration but here you spell it out yourself: The politicians did sell out to Microsoft and only newly elected politicians partially reversed it.

They use Windows and MS Office on desktops to this day and use Linux on servers and some FOSS tools ON WINDOWS DESKTOPS.

I was right, you lied.

People who still use WinRAR kinda deserve that. Seriously. WinRAR in 2026? Like WTF.
