be valve, 2012, enjoy printing money from pc games on steam

realize microsoft could easily kill you by making gaming on windows a walled garden like the app store

what to do?

the greatest heist of all time: steal every game from windows by porting them all to linux

"it can't be done!" screams anon

"it can, anon. we're going to upgrade wine. reimplement the DirectX API and translate it to Vulkan at runtime. same with .NET, everything." says gaben calmly

"but you'll never get EVERY windows game to run on linux, we can't even get EVERY windows game to run on windows for christ sake!" shouts anon again

"we don't need to. we just have to get enough, to convince everyone it's going to work."...

cassette time skip to 2025

proton is amazing. despite translating everything at runtime, it can run AAA games well and sometimes faster than Windows cuz Windows syscalls slow

pewdiepie switch to linux

microsoft absolutely seething

bill gates personally makes emergency call to satya nadella at 3am

"they did WHAT? how many users did we lose?"

"about 30% of gamers sir, they keep saying 'linux gaming just works now'"

valve's masterplan succeeding beyond expectations

gaben sitting in office made entirely of knives, laughing

"phase 1 complete, commence phase 2"

Feliz ano novo pra geral aí!
