My WinAMD is doing just fine. No linux trash for me, thanks.
It's kind of not important though, except for a tiny group of developers.

As long as the mad dash translates into healthy 8-hour work days - have fun!

Well, why are we using cut-down Chrome with a bunch of js scripts and pretend it's a native app or a web server?

But why?

Are you sure about that? I mean, boomers may have stolen all the wealth, but aren't 20-30 adolescents still the primary market for any AAA game?

That graphics would not look out of place in a 2013 indie game from a well-established but not rich studio. It would have not been ground-breaking in 2003, but would grab some attention for sure. I bet they will use same level of graphics in 2033, maybe with some AI tricks slapped on top if they manage to get cheap hardware for that.
