LINUX OVERTAKES MACS USERS ON STEAM

I can smell the taste of seething,
Where did the penguin touch you?

Look even if you say "ThE sUrvEy", that too is a lie by Valve loyal fanbase who can lie. There is nothing to confirm these numbers, Valve only sources means only Valve.

Doesn't that mean Valve can definite lie because you never bother to check if it's real numbers or not.

NOOO DO NOT REDEEEEEEM BLOODY b***h

Holy frick I can smell the designated street from here

No one cares about your English with a dumb ChatGTP can beat your american school test. pathetic

>valve is lying about these numbers because...
>reasons

No, for the last time I don't want a fricking extended car warranty. Stop calling me.

GOOD MORNING SIRS

Valve only, we know it's from Valve, WHOIS website says it's from Valve. Valve only collects data. Valve blocked API of Data collection.

It's clear Valve does not want anyone else to valid their claims. There is no way to claim the numbers are real. We can not access the data.

>no reason given for them to lie, again

[...]

Why re you lying, you cant defend them either, the numbers either exist or don't. Only Valve owns that data not you.

>the one who consorts with beasts eternally seething that he can't sell steam keys on his own site for cheaper than the price listed on the steam page
These are the worst cases against Valve that you can come up with? Long live the Valve "monopoly" I guess.

>EU court
Ah, so nothing untoward actually happened

>nooo you can't sell the game cheaper for turkey/argentina/whatever and prevent people from richer countries to abuse the system!
good job, europe, now people from poorer countries can't get cheaper keys becasue it hurts the feelings of germans or something

Did you forget real lawsuits from real governments or do you believe they are fake?

>pajeet literally cannot read the posts he's quoting

You truly were built for call center work.

Like you're any better, you're defending company that lies a lot.

Valve also stole the gaming controller patent for USA company. Valve is still a criminal.

No they aren't: https://scufgaming.com/gaming/why-scuf/what-we-do

>what we do
>patents patents patents patents
>more than 161 patents (granted and pending), but we won’t stop there.
Sounds like a patent troll to me. The fact that they also manufacture hardware doesn't change that. They're probably the biggest reason controllers have stagnated, because as Valve found out, any small improvement can be a patent infringement.

>Make a bad scribble of a Xbox controller with two vague rounded rectangles on the back in 2014
>I now own the entire idea of any buttons on the back of a controller!
Just requires you to ignore the prior art from the 1980s, the fact that the Steam controller in no way resembles an Xbox controller, and uses an entirely different mechanism for its rear grip controls.

i don't think many people realize that the patent office will more or less rubber stamp anything you send them. you don't even need to show a working device in most cases. usually only during a lawsuit does it finally come to light that the patent was fricking moronic and an attempt to patent something that was done over 9000 times before.

They arent "patent troll", they are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsair_Gaming

the keyboard and mouse you used was built by them. And if you even cared about lawsuits, you know they did not lose, they mishandle paperwork.

https://cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-orders/21-2296.OPINION.4-3-2023_2104462.pdf

Real US paper courts in updated format. READ IT.

Still own by Corsair, court papers say Corsair is part of this lawsuit. It's Corsair, the one and only.

The whole point of Patent Trolls is to drag things out as long as possible to wear down the opposition. Microsoft has used hollowed out companies that used to make good stuff for a long time as their undead minions. Read up on SCO vs IBM.

Microsoft paid them to slow down and drain the resources of their competition, Valve just had the resources, and the facts, to actually fight it.

No Valve is guilty of their crime, the case has been settled and someone mess up the paperwork.

>Lose based on the merits of the case, due to a bullshit patent that never should have been granted.
>But your only business is baseless patent lawsuits, and Microsoft paid you a bunch of money to keep Valve out of the market
>So you blame Zoom

This is the same level of shit as SCO's "We own UNIX" claim.
Hopefully it won't take a decade or more to put an end to it like that case did.

>The jury voted unanimously against Valve
It's over guys: https://www.polygon.com/2021/2/3/22264213/valve-steam-controller-lawsuit-scuf-4-million

A jury voted unanimously, not the judge or anyone else, It's a group of random people that said Yes to Valve stealing.

This went through covid-19, do not blame lawyers when normal things are court hearings were closed. Mishandling happens in law, it's uncommon but it happens.

No they didn't, a mishandling happen

>The CAFC affirmed all but the latter holding, explaining that the later-discovered prior art that was not part of the IPR petition must be held to a “skilled searcher” standard that it is the burden of the patent holder to prove is subject to IPR estoppel.

I don't make dumb American laws and it's your American problem that should be fixed. The outcome does not change the facts.

I am glad we agree that the problem is with American patent law and not Valve

They actually showed their design before parenting it... Which would actually invalidate patent protection

No, for the last time I don't want a fricking extended car warranty. Stop calling me.

GOOD MORNING SIRS

>EU court
Ah, so nothing untoward actually happened

The EU doesn't give a frick about Argentina or Turkey, just prices within the EU market.
Funnily enough israelitetendo also got caught running a pricing fixing cartel in Europe during the 90s and early 2000s and got fined like €150 millions.

Does Steam no longer artificially limit the ability in where you can activate a game based on certain regions within the EU?

Do I look like I give a shit about some legal terminology? I was just shitting on Nintendo.

Price fixing is when two or more competitors agree to not sell their products below a certain price.

>They do it to make you the customer believe in company growth.
showing company growth does jack shit for valve. customers don't care. they're not public so there are no public investors to care.

alright, thanks

Just go look at the Steam hardware survey.

Your move, Bill-sama

there's logic behind that though
how people interact with Android on their mobile devices is far different than how desktop linux works
just like how chrome dominates web browser usage but it counts both desktop and mobile chrome which is deceptive since they're still entirely different experiences and designing a website or web app for one does not mean it will work well on the other, for example

got it

The goods you own are a form of marketing. Imagine if you had a realtor show up in a rusted out old Camry. Would you trust him to do a good job, compared to the realtor who shows up in a polished late model Mercedes? Probably not. On a smaller degree, computers can be the same way. If the business is running cheap shitty laptops Black personrigged to work because it's "cheaper" it means normalgay customers will see your business as probably being ran on the cheap, as compared to the business that has clean new Macs everywhere.
Why do you think businessmen wear suits? Image.

>Only applies to steam kek with fixed hardware
nope works for all of us since the shaders get cached by others using your hardware/drivers before the games are even opened

>Meanwhile every serious developer is adopting DX12
and completely shitting the bed at doing so lmao
that's the whole problem and why we get to laugh when the ports run like shit on Windows yet are fine on Linux
DirectX is unironically making Linux look better as a result

>Ratchet and Clank runs better
>Elden Ring never needed "fixes" for stuttering day 0
>FF7R ran better at launch
>Wo Long didn't have stuttering issues for me day 0
>Hogwarts Legacy had no stuttering day 0

>Ratchet and Clank needed DirectStorage, no Vulkan equal
>Elden Ring ran best on Xbox (DirectX) at launch
also
>Halo Infinite ran better on Windows
>Every emulator ran better in DX12 than Vulkan at launch, most still do
>All that massive compatibility advantage for Windows

Vulkan outperforms directx. The real reason m$ bought activision and zenimax was to kill vulkan before it got too much adoption.

Nope. DX12 has always been ahead of Vulshit

>moron thinks DirectStorage is only async IO
>more crying that Microsoft doesn't count
>emulators typically run better on Linux but you do you, wiseguy
LMAO most emulators are way, way better on Windows. I know because I've tried them on Steam Deck and it's frickin awful.

>what we need is a single company to control the graphics api space
end your existence as soon as you can>
[...]
the fact that any games work better on linux when going through a translation layer is already a massive embarrassment.

>>what we need is a single company to control the graphics api space
But that wouldn't happen? You still have Apple.
Also funny how freetards always call for the death of proprietary APIs because apparently it's so great to have one company (Khronos Group) controlling the graphics API space when it suits their desires

that's like saying it doesn't matter if only one out of nintendo, microsoft and sony remain in the console space because there's atari! apple is completely irrelevant for pc gaming

>you dual booted on your steam deck to benchmark?
Yes. And despite Valve's jank day 0 windows drivers it still was better than steamos.

I will give them points for usability however, as Windows lacks a good handheld mode right now

thinks DirectStorage is only async IO

R&C works better on linux

this isn't the switch, you don't get any extra power from docking or charging the deck

>Sucking microsoft's dick this hard
Play some real games instead of running emulators

>at some point
at the very launch of the game at worst instead of during gameplay, and you can make it compile automatically in the background before launching games if you prefer that.

I wodner if they'll force id to switch from vulkan to dx12

They'll probably kill id altogether
