  • Its unstable as a target platform for development. You never know when it will break API/ABI compatibility. It’s why most containers target Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, and UBI. The versions can be locked and you can be assured that your software won’t randomly break one day after and update.

    For some reason people have taken that as being unstable to use as a system, which hasn’t been the case for me either.









  • I didn’t play the full generation. I moved to PC in 2009 so I dodged the worst part of the generation. I also wouldn’t say it was the best generation. The reason I would say it was the last good one is the lack of a required install. You could buy a game, then start playing it right away. If I have to sit through an install, I might as well just play on PC.


  • It was the start of it, but it wasn’t common practice, at least not towards the beginning of the generation.

    It was the first generation for DLC to be more common, but it felt like an addition and not just restoring intentionally cut content.

    I do agree that towards the end of the generation, some of the greedier companies started some of their worst practices.
