I thought that was satire but I've googled it and you're not even joking.

...and the Ally ISN'T EVEN AN XBOX!!!! """AI Overview: No, the Asus ROG Ally is not actually an Xbox. It is a handheld Windows computer made by Asus, even though it features Xbox branding and uses an Xbox-style controller layout"""

  Obviously it’s an ally, just like the Xbox series x is a series. How much clearer could they be? (Joking). Let’s be honest, Nintendo are just as bad - new 2DS would like a word.

  It basically already is if you're not playing live service. Unfortunately I can't see MS ever making their catalogue of games workable with Proton, Riot won't as well since they won't budge on kernel level anti-cheat, and for God knows what reason Epic won't do so either (even though they're always pushing for open platforms???)

    there’s a simple answer to all of these things that will cause the market to take care of it: simply increase the Linux gaming market size and given how shitty Microsoft is treating everything lately, it won’t even be hard
