Sounds like more SteamOS devices could be on their way soon.

    Cool, when’s the last time you popped a terminal on your PS5 to mod Skyrim? Oh right, never—it just works. BSD isn’t the issue; forced tinkering is.

      You’re forced to mod Skyrim to play it?

      Who’s forcing you to tinker? Are they in the room with us right now?

        Is the gun to your head invisible or just your comprehension? Modding requires workarounds—nobody forces you to breathe either, yet here you are.

          Modding requires workarounds

          No shit, Sherlock. On any platform.

            So Windows is “any platform” now? Cute.

              Are you really going to pretend modding on Windows doesn’t require tinkering/workarounds?

              That’s basically what modding is.

                Oh right, because dragging mods into a folder is exactly like compiling kernel patches. Keep gatekeeping suffering, martyr.

                  You don’t have to compile kernel patches to mod games on SteamOS. Why are you making things up?

                    Oh, so drag-and-drop mods are equivalent to kernel hacking now? Keep rewriting history, it’s adorable.
