    I sell honey at a local garden market. My sales went up 460% once I started labelling it “A.I. Honey”. /s

    Looks like it is time to build a platform for the people. A commoners console if you will. It is clear we have to move beyond these corporations for gaming now. They bought up all the studious and now they are killing them all so they can deliver us AI slop instead.

        It could be as simple as that. But I was thinking a nonprofit with standardized hardware and a team to integrate it with Linux properly. All the games can be open source and community supported.

        We could call it the Playtendobox.

            You mean Steam… the monopolistic company that is using price fixing on the entire PC game industry?

            Not exactly what I was thinking to be honest. It is certainly standard hardware on Linux that is supported by a community though, so it isn’t all bad.

              monopolistic

              Something being popular because it works better than all its competitors is not a monopoly.

              using price fixing

              Accused of using price fixing, it’s an ongoing legal process.

              If you’re going to criticize Valve do it by going after the incontrovertible stuff like benefiting massively from loot boxes (gambling, skimming off the secondary market) or providing “community tools” with very little support for moderation or protection from malicious reviews. There’s plenty to criticize.
