The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: "Gamers use Windows because of its' user experience not our de facto monopoly."

Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

"I think we'll lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the market. I think margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people. If that's true, then it will be good to have alternatives to hedge against that eventuality."

It was done for profit. The exact thing I've been saying.

That quote doesn't mean what you think it means. And you haven't been saying it was done for profit, you've been saying it was done because "people voted with their wallet".

Companies will do something if they have a profit incentive to do so. They will not do things if they do not have a profit incentive to do so. People voting with their wallet creates a profit incentive.

People voting with their wallet creates no profit incentive. It's what I've been trying to explain to you since your very first comment.

Do nothing and be rude to the people trying to do something

Got it.

You've run out of excuses, I see.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Excuses for what? I still don't understand what you're expecting people to do seeing as "not buying the thing" doesn't seem to be good enough for you.

I don't care about what he buys. I care that he's telling people who wanna play a game that doesn't work on Linux to play a different game or to go back to Windows. So the dozens of people who did switch to Linux are now being told Windows was the better choice.
