A more in depth answer about what it is not a good news as it may seems superficially.
Basically, Microsoft still does tons of patent trolling, he does not have given to OIN the patent used on patent trolling and the move can be seen as a way to legitimate software patent.

Quoting: AppelsinI'd wager assimilation rather than protection. As for protection, I suspect it's more a case of "if we can't steal 'em, noone else will get to either."

But they get tons of money from patent attack on Linux (directly or via patent troll, look for intelectual venture founded by Gate & co).
Maybe its war between services but assimilation is the most likely, Linux is no longer a threat, why?

Has Microsoft stop lending patent to patent troll attacking GNU/Linux users?

I don't use Youtube (or any google services) I want to have a bit of control on the data I leak.

What is the content of the video? Trolling about Linux?

Also meraco is still going round, saying there's no need for native linux ports anymore because of proton

I don't imagine for a second that they can not be paid troll. Russia is not the only actor that pay troll to advance its interest. Hiring a few troll in India is rather cheap. Meraco might troll Monday to Friday on opening hours somewhere in the world. I wonder how much hour he does a week.

I wonder as well. Maybe his contract as ended. That guy were just trolling 1000s if not tens of 1000s topics begging about a Linux version on a daily basis. That too much work to be done on spare time.
I am still surprised how he managed to be present on almost every game I check for a Linux version be it a AAA or a niche game that will never sold more than a few 1000s units.

Yes, but we should only pay if the hard work is made by the developer...

No, you should pay if you play it.

Windows games are meant to be pirated (not that I will put anything in .exe on a computer I own)
