Emulators are a gift that will always keep giving, and it makes matters much easier having switched to Linux. I know Steam support Linux well enough but i asked myself 'do i want to support steam whilst trying to become more privacy conscious and less consumerist?' - The answer was 'nah not really'. Not when such impressive vaults of beautiful, ancient code lie at my fingertips. I will always be open to the odd indie game, if it happens to run on Linux, but AAA games have long since descended in to darkness and will not sway me at this point, despite the occasional rare offering of quality.

God bless emulators... and Dwarf Fortress, i will always have love for that.
