    I’ll be playing it on my spyware free Linux PC and/or handheld. Where I control my nextwork traffic.

    Any console that connects to the Internet is spying on you as well.

      Oh yeah, I have an Xbox Series X, I know it has all the bullshit Microsoft telemetry shit turned on in the background that I got away from when I left Windows.

      PlayStation isn’t much better, if any. Both are run by people who don’t get gamers except as a means to profit, but they both make decent gaming machines.

      I think it’s funny how one of the best gaming machines out there runs Linux, and it’s neither unpopular nor unheard of. Steam Deck. And there are others like it. I just wish we had Proton on macOS. Apple has Game Porting Toolkit, Linux (/Valve?) has Proton, I wish they’d work together because they have a common enemy in Microsoft, and both lending their assets to the other helps both of them — in the same way that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Even Windows/Xbox, because the increased competition may make them make better choices.
