Aiming down sights was always a console thing. It's extremely hard to make small aiming adjustments on a joystick, so game devs added a button to move the camera in and reduce sensitivity. CoD popularized it, and every FPS shooter wanted to ride CoD's coattails so it's pretty ubiquitous now. For a game like CS it would homogenize the guns a bit, since there's a clear delineation between guns that can be scoped and those that cannot.

We're talking about Counter Strike here, it's been the same game for 20+ years at this point. Any two subsequent CS games are going to be very, very similar. Most of them didn't even feature an engine upgrade like we're getting now. Plus if you pay attention to the CS2 datamines, it looks like Valve have planning to add way more than just what they've announced so far. There most definitely will be new content.

So this refuge from racism he desires (according to NK) doesn't extend to Koreans I see

lol what. You literally need to pass a test to join the military at all. And it's a pen-and-ink test with science, math and physics problems. Not a "can you follow commands" test.

Linus's brain simply cannot accept he did something wrong, so the cognitive dissonance forces him to make these great leaps of logic. He could have ended everything with a simple "I'm sorry, we'll correct this" but his ego would never allow it.

Sporting events are hosted in oppressive countries all the time. Olympics and World Cup have been hosted by both CCP and Russia in recent memory.

It doesn't. You link your Steam account and it's 100% through Steam after that. No offense but why don't you just spend the 20 seconds to Google it rather than spreading false info...

It's nice to see the physics engine at work and take some cool screenshots, but yeah what a total pain it would be to have to rebuild after a flood or something. Maybe some people like that though.

There's a lot of verified games you need to tweak to get running how you want, developers can make a "Steam Deck" profile and enable it to be used at startup but not all do. Also many devs save your graphics settings on Steam cloud which is quite annoying since you constantly have to switch them between desktop and Steam Deck.

It's a slow, turn-based game. It's perfectly playable at 30 fps so no reason for it not to be verified.

No I agree. The fact that Final Fantasy used to outsell Zelda and now sells 1/3rd of it should speak volumes about how Square has handled the franchise. Gaming has only gotten bigger since the late 90s.

These are the numbers I found for 5th and 6th gen games:
FFVII: 10.0
FFVIII: 8.6
FFX: 8.5
Ocarina of Time: 7.60
Wind Waker: 6.79
Majora's Mask: 6.82

FFIX: 5.5
FFX-2: 5.4
Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages: 3.99
Minish Cap: 1.76

So maybe "a lot" is an overstatement, but they did generally sell more. You have a point regarding sales-per-console, but also remember PS1 had over 1900 games to N64s 388. That's way more competition for third party FF games to get sales. Many people that buy Sony consoles don't even look twice at JRPGs, whereas most people that buy Nintendo consoles know day one they are going to get the latest Mario and Zelda.
