    Interesting, I kind of assumed that he’d been long forgotten by the YouTube crowd, but he’s still the number 10 top youtuber going by how many subscribers he has.

    So, this may actually have an impact on Linux perception, but I’d wager with people in PewDiePie’s age group more than younger people. He’s 35, a lot closer to my age than expected.

    If I sound like an idiot it’s because I never followed PewDiePie except for watching him scream and flail in Dark Souls that one time.












  • You do, especially if its a new game.

    I had seen other comments mentioning the same and had considered mentioning that is out of reach for a lot of people but then didn’t.

    Like my PC is running STALKER 2 great on the lowest settings, but if I had to run it through a VM first I would lose a lot of performance and probably dip below 60fps.

    Most games people want to pirate are brand new so telling them to do something like reformat their (probably only) PC to run baremental Linux with a Windows VM for the game is just silly and unreasonable. At that point you may as well just buy the game if you need a whole extra computer to pirate it safely.

    I couldn’t possibly run brand new games in a VM and I only have one computer that can even play modern games. Silly suggestion.
