online shopping: only thing i see so far in local big shops is AI chatbots to reduce load on telephone support. I never used Amazon, don't care what bullshit they do.
Must be a very specific game. Last time i had to run a tool for modding was in Gothic 3. And i think X4 was it, it has a linux version but some mods have Windows paths? Though it would work fine in wine. And Kenshi has a cmd script to fix some data for performance the studio missed, for which some included tools don't run. But that was faster with find and sed anyway.
Btw, most weird tools run fine if you install vcrun (libraries) or dotnet (GUI stuff) via winetricks. wintricks vcrun2022 dotnet48 for the latest.
We are not at a point where the "global community" is more than a few competing, egoistic and greedy tribes with clashing world views, so that's no surprise.
