I’ve never understood these memes. If you don’t want to play whatever game, don’t play it. How do you somehow convince yourself that you’re superior to others due to your inability to run certain programs?
I guess it comes from a point where Linux gamers have been neglected by major studios for so long and now that there are enough other options they don’t have any power on them.
it’s associative, the negative associations with Call of Duty players cannot be transferred to a console that doesn’t support that game, so for people who want to avoid those associations it’s a plus
joke is that not being able to play things you don’t like are a bonus. it’s a joke about how much you dislike that. now if you excuse me, I have a frog to dissect
The thing is that with W10 going EOL, everyone is going to be forced to learn a new OS, regardless if they want to or not (W11has been out for years, if you havent jumped, there is likely a reason). Lemmy users being the socially concious crusaders that they are, are encouraging people to make a better choice than defaulting to Windows again (given all its very real issues of useability and data harvesting).
Not having access to preditory games due to self-imposed tech limitations isnt high on the list of reasons to choose linux, but its good shitpost material.

I understand that it’s a joke, but the humor isn’t making sense to me, and I especially don’t see how it’s at the expense of AAA games

The joke is just “Call of Duty and Fortnite are shit / overrated” which you can disagree with

Linux users are a different breed.
G*mers are a different breed.
Linux G*mers. Holy jesus.
As a part time Linux gamer myself I couldn’t agree more
