<p><i>Why do Windows users ignore the faults of Windows?</i><p>How many people care about support for Red Alert 2 and OG Xbox controllers on Windows 11 (assuming either of these truly don't work) versus people who care about the ability to play games like Fortnite?</p>

<p>I assume the use of the word "fault" in this context was referring to the "downside" meaning instead of "assign blame" meaning.</p>

<p><i>All games I want to play run very well and mostly the process is just "install -> play".</i><p>This is largely true for games running directly through Steam, it can get pretty annoying for games that exist outside Steam.<p>Especially when you have to do things like apply an ".msi" style patch to a game .<p>It's doable, but the number of steps and tools you may have to pull in (such as protontricks) does get to be a bit of a pain at times.</p>

<p><i>The solution is to give them a taste of better built (specifically competetive) games and they will never like roblox.</i><p>In my experience, this doesn't work.
