Very cool societal ideas. Please do not have children.

I don't think you understand. Would it be nice if society was less dependant on phones for everything social? Sure. It is your kid's responsibility to evangelize to their peers that they have to? Absolutely not.

This isn't a societal question. This is about affording a kid a social life at all. If a kid doesn't have a phone when all their peers have one, there's no "oh well simply only go to events that are shared on something else than phones", because there are no such events. There's no "oh well only socialize with people who will make the effort to only have conversations in person", because there will be at best one kid in the entire school that also doesn't have a phone (hint: they'll be the "weird" kid).

This is equivalent to your parents saying "you may only talk to people at school, you aren't allowed to talk to anyone once you leave school." Surely you understand that this is a surefire way to completely ostracize and socially stunt your kid, and for what benefit? The only thing you gain is that you get to not parent your kid about safe internet use, a thing you really should be doing anyway because they're going to get internet access at some point.

I tried playing it for a few minutes but I genuinely got incredibly lost and dropped it because if I wanted to err without goal I'd just go look in my fridge

China is restricted from buying the machines necessary for high-end semiconductors, so not china either

League of legends used to work well but yeah I mostly never bother with lutris.

It was good in the past back when every game needed a different configuration of wine but nowadays proton-GE works out of the box on most games.

Yeah especially considering I'm not touching the amazon launcher with a 10 foot pole.

Because the game was originally a pve zombie defence game, where the objective was to build a fort to survive many zombie waves during the night.

Right when it came out, PUBG became really popular (most popular game on steam, twitch etc) and they pivoted HARD into being the first free to play battle royale. At the time, it was transparently an attempt to cash in on the BR hype, and it worked because PUBG was 50 entire dollars and Fortnite was free.

This is why it's called "fortnite: battle royale". The old Fortnite has been all but abandoned, and is (was) called "save the world".

I mean that's literally just Minecraft hunger games at this point.

The reason Fortnite is popular isn't it's outstanding gameplay, it's a network effect coupled with the sillyness of the various IPs interacting. People play Fortnite because their friends play Fortnite.
