[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (7 children) 10% is significant, unfortunately. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (2 children) Significant for some, less so for others. The games with the most problems tend to be multiplayer titles with aggressive client-side anti cheat. For me, I only play a couple of online titles like Deep Rock Galactic, which are co-op and work fine, and which I wouldn't miss all that much even if they were broken. Most of my gaming is single player, and if it turns out a game is in the unlucky 10 percent then I can just move on, because there's plenty more on my wishlist. So, it really depends who you are. For some people that 10% might cover the entirety of what you want to play, which is a huge problem. For others, they might barely notice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Right, so overall significant. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 1 point 11 months ago Yes, significant. But the point I'm making is that it's not uniformly significant. It's not 10% for everyone. So you should make your operating system choices based on which group you fall into. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kossa@feddit.org 3 points 11 months ago It might be. But then again only 90% of Windows games run on Windows to begin with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ permalink fedilink source parent [–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Give it time and Microsoft will soon require every Windows user have a golf ball in their throat when using Windows. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] jaek@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago* [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] whiwake@sh.itjust.works 1 point 11 months ago macOS wants a word with you haha permalink fedilink source parent
