If your political stance on this is to just shut up… well, honor your political stance and…just shut up.
This is people who don’t fall into this crap telling people that did fall into this crap simply: “you don’t deserve this: let’s fight your, and our, way out”.
People who fall for this crap, is giving resource to the crappiest companies: and with money, the crappiest companies can buy their way back also on you.
Microsoft business was never meant to convince: it’s either forcing their way in by bully OEMs in doing what they want, and make sure Linux isn’t an option, like in the ACPI case, or buy successful companies that elude their direct control (or simply buy companies that already won the battle they are fighting, like their desperate attempt to make a success “Microsoft Game Studio” and instead resort to buy Bethesda, Activision etc.)
I don’t think the poll question was well made… “would you like part away from your money for…” vaguely shakes hand in air “…ai?”
People is already paying for “ai” even before chatGPT came out to popularize things: DLSS
‘keep fighting on until there’s an ultimate victory’*
- (asterisk). “their ultimate victory”… the day Apple and Google gives the little shit they want for themselves, Epic return to be a good servant: exactly as they are for both Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo today. We get the stuff we want, then screw everybody else.
You didn’t see Tim Sweeney that much active in the campaign for StopKillingGames: let’s make sure only publishers, and the publisher we’re happy with, to have political weight.
IMHO: Valve is phasing off the very initial gen. of Steam Deck to focus OLED/HDR (which would benefit Linux gaming ecosystem), as SteamDeck is certainly a standard defining device for Linux gaming ecosystem.
