A particularly fun bit:

So then, how about Fortnite on Linux / Steam Deck? Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said when it hits "tens of millions of users" that it "would actually make sense to support it". We must be pretty close by now right? Why ignore a platform that's sold multiple millions, and is clearly just continuing to fly off the shelves?

That's a poor comparison, as Black Myth has just come out and games take a long time to develop. And the Steam Deck 2 literally doesn't exist yet.

If Nintendo announced a Switch 2 tomorrow, saying it's compatible with existing Switch games, do you think sales of the Switch would go up, or down?
