But the real reason is that they make no measurable amount of money off this form of back compat, whereas they can make a bit of money off Virtual Console style repacks of the best sellers, where licensing allows. And that's how the capitalism cookie crumbles but a) I wish they'd just say that, and b) it's a shitty but sadly very normalized stance for a company that has managed to sequester a very significant slice of the history of an artistic medium on their now-abandoned proprietary platform.

The dismissal of platform-level back compat (ie put a PS2 disc into your PS3/PS4 and it Just Works) always leaned hard on murky platform holder anecdata like "people request this more often than they actually use and value it". And it's like, well you never really offered it for reals so you have no idea what the real demand was.

@LongLevy If you have a little time, reading about just the basic principles of Linux and the HFS is really interesting and demystifies it quit a bit!

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh yeah that's absolutely the only reason I'm sticking to it this time, haha

All my stuff just worked, and only needed a little tweaking to get it exactly how I want

like, y'all. holy shit. messing with nvidia drivers on windows is like an hour long affair of extracting bullshit and restarting in safe mode to use a third party driver garbage cleaner

and now it's just

sudo apt purge nvidia*

sudo apt install nvidia
