Even if the majority of AoE2 userbase was from Argentina, I can assure you most Argie gamers don't play the game (most are too young to even know of it) and so it's not "big" in Argentina.
In that sense it wouldn't be big practically in most countries but I think OP refers to it that it enjoyed a huge popularity back then and now with AOE DE people (probably of the age bracket that played it back then) do absolutely play it in large numbers.
Taunting? I see that the first sentence may read like that, but it wasn’t intentional. Sorry if it bothered you. I shared the story because there’s no question and no issue left in the OP, so I guessed the implied question was why (why would you post it otherwise). The retrospective explains it. Windows past instabilities are the reason it has better repair capabilities.
No, but I certainly don't want Mac to break my harddisks.
Edit: It's the equivalent of repairing a broken screen on a phone but you only realise upon returning home that it stopped working entirely, but the shopman says he is not liable and refuses to give you another service or refund you.
