As much as I agree with you about owning your games and moving to Linux PC, I have to disgree when you say there is 0 reason to be on a closed ecosystem as a gamer.
I’ll probably never buy a Playstation again as I’m in the process of moving my gaming to Linux (Steam Deck for now, gaming rig when the prices go down), but Sony games used to be/are great and everything works perfectly out of the box.
Pc gaming/Linux is becoming better, but it’s not there yet for ease of use.
If everything was already perfect I don’t think we’d be in this situation lol. When trying to affect change, sacrifices have to be made. When workers strike I don’t think they’re expecting a better situation than the status quo lol. It takes courage to stand on principle.
In this case, sacrificing a bit of time to learn and set things up and/or some games that are full of microtransactions and anticheat, like CoD or Valorant, is a pretty easy choice imo compared to an actual strike lol. With Proton and new distros like Bazzite you can even have a console-like experience. Heck, with things like Kazeta you can even have a physical media like experience. Just costs a little time.

I’m ready to make the sacrifice, but a lot of people aren’t because consoles still have advantages.
That’s why I have to react when people are saying that consoles have nothing over PC. It’s true for us, but not for everyone.
