    Windows changes slowly rot old games, even if an old game still runs you slowly have to jump through more hoops to run it.

        Very good thing, but doesn’t help anyone who bought the game on windows.

        And realistically Mac will break much quicker, and Linux will probably break too. Switch I agree should be solid, you don’t mess with console apis.

          You don’t buy for a specific platform… you have it for all platforms other than Switch, because Nintendo.

            I should have said: “Anyone who isn’t lucky enough to own every platform”.

            This is all academic anyway, since factorio does have ongoing support to justify the ongoing full price, so there isn’t a problem to be solved.
