The evolution of gaming platforms perfectly captured in three stages of corporate desperation. Nintendo and Xbox started out hostile, screaming at you for daring to emulate their precious titles or even thinking about buying used games (because how dare you not pay full price twice). Then they pivoted to the subscription model grift, begging you to please subscribe because their "exclusives" are totally worth it. Meanwhile, Linux gaming just rolled up like the chad it is and said "do whatever you want, it's your machine." No DRM tantrums, no subscription guilt trips, just pure freedom. Proton and Steam Deck really turned Linux from "yeah but can it run games tho?" into "yeah it runs YOUR games better than your own OS." The irony? The platform that was supposedly "not ready for gaming" ended up being the most pro-gamer of them all.
