Every time I want to play a game, I have to dismiss a few weasel-worded Edge adverts, and work around some asshole dark pattern trying to trick me into logging in to Microsoft account and agree to tracking. And I haven't even upgraded to Win 11 yet.
I'll happily burn Windows to the ground if Apple manages to make majority of Steam games work on their platform. I don't think it will happen, but it's nice to dream.
- badpun 3y agoHow do you do it? I'm also on Win 10, and every time I want to play a game, I just hit the Start button, type the game's name, press Enter, and the game launches (sometimes, there's a Steam update along the way, if Steam wasn't already running on my machine). Where do you get those dark patterns?
- pornel 3y agoI have Firefox as default browser. You probably already have Edge and MS account. They just pop up as "Finish setting up" screen when starting up. Or a floating search bar popped up in the middle of the desktop yesterday. Looks like a malware infection, but it's from Microsoft.
