There's like dozens of ways to open a lock without the proper key, it's probably not the best comparison...

Pretty much every platform is both, except linux maybe.

Not supporting it forces all other developers to spend their time integrating their own client side decorations just so users can move/close a window in someone else's desktop environment. (example: https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-408#%3A%7E%3Atext=Client-side+window+decorations)

This kind of things is handled directly at an engine or toolkit level - so no your average developer won't give a fuck. And for those that are reinventing the wheel there's libdecor (official gnome support btw) which your factorio developer is using.

The change is because of the shift to streaming, people can watch the shows whenever they want so things like status quo and always being on air are less important than having a narrative and strong episodes. Yes labor protections and the rest are important but even these days plenty of shows like soaps manage 20+ episodes - the difference is that they're aimed at a tv audience.

Plus game is free so it’s not like they’re actively getting money from me

They might not be getting money from you, but they're getting a lot of other things like harvesting your data, advertising (like this thread)... Always remember that free to play is a business model, not a charity.

Just like every project, you engage with it only as much as you want to. You can just use the arch install script, update pacman every couple of weeks and stop there.

It speaks to your willingness and eagerness to tinker with your systems, that's pretty much arch's core audience.

If you like to mod games you'll probably want arch linux as it's heavily modular - you choose everything. You can use the archinstall script to get you setup or follow the installation guide.

It's not, physical sales have been dwindling in general, although part of the reason for that is the push towards digital.

The solution here has never been to keep producing disks, what we need is proper digital ownership laws that let you resell game keys and force stores like steam to disentangle them from your account.

Path of exile 2 was at its hardest in 0.1, at this point it has fully embraced power creep and it's going in the same direction as poe1, less challenging content and more clear screens with 1 button to get loot.

It's not particularly difficult to read, there's just a lot of stuff to keep track of - if you care enough to anyways. Oh and you should probably avoid Malazan if you are squeamish.
