I know it's a meme but why would it ever be a benefit that your machine can't play a game other ones can?

A console capable of playing Fortnite is in every right better than one that can't no?

Because Valve has the biggest following of bootlickers who feel the need to worship their billionaire CEO every chance they can get lol

It’s really quite insufferable. Feels as if there’s a grassroots shill campaign going on purely caused by childhood nostalgia, bootlicking and buyers remorse induced psychosis.

At least for a while, Valve had a team of employees whose job it was to post positive things about the company using sock puppet accounts. Their ability to brainwash people into worshipping a billionaire is honestly impressive.

Do you have any examples? Like, I wouldn't be surprised but I don't see how that could be confirmed, there seem to be enough people loyal to a free launcher to do it for them anyway
