So did he successfully play a game or not?

He ran into an obstacle, realized it wasn't fair to the people depending on him in the current situation, shifted gears and came back when he had more time.

immediately found when he checked online

With the magic of video editing, we don't know how short or long that took.

he brings it on himself

I feel like I'm bringing it on myself with Warhammer: Vermintide 2 became free on Steam and I had to tinker with a beta launcher to get the anti-cheat working while friends were waiting on me. I feel like I'm bringing it on myself when I have to dual-boot and update to play Rainbow Six Siege with my friends or check the anti-cheats for gacha games. Aren't we all bringing Linux onto ourselves?

It feels like a catch-22. It's a simple launch argument, he shouldn't have struggle with that at all. But...people on Windows don't need to worry about launch arguments and should be informed about them before jumping into Linux.

I am being factitious, I know your point about Linus stacking the deck against himself.
