They say in the post they use Debian. The game is running under proton/wine and reports the is as windows.

I think it's mostly because these price increases are happening at the same time as the publishers are raking in record profits. It also doesn't help that a lot of the games seeing the increase are subpar cash grabs.

I don't see any problems with charging more than $60 for a game as long as the game is worth what they're asking. I bought Metaphor Refantazio and TotK at a full $70 and felt both were worth that (screw Nintendo, but the game's really good).

Development costs have increased drastically in the past couple decades, and while the customer base has also increased quite a bit, I think the market is reaching saturation.

I think that while greed is the most common reason for the increase, there are some legitimate reasons people should take into account before denouncing every price increase.

Bad take imo. The Wan Show (the podcast this clip is from) has been around for over 12 years and started back when live video podcasts were hardly a thing, so I feel like it should get at least part of an exception to the "2 guys sitting at microphones" point. Many people in here seem to dislike LTT for some variety of reasons, some valid, some not, but I don't think their podcast existing should be one of them.

I can't really comment on Linus's voice as that is entirely subjective.

The point they were trying to make here is that despite how apple has made many feel, they are still a soulless corporation, no different than any other.

For those who don't get it

If you aren't too sensitive to a bit of input lag, you could keep your laptop around and stream the more demanding games over steam link. Streaming these demanding games will also significantly increase battery life, but I don't think it will work away from home. Most games run quite well if you drop the settings (outside of those using intrusive anticheat), and it runs lighter games very well.
