An article from this weekend that seemingly got buried by soundbites about the Steam Machine price in the same interview, but given that we have no information on price, this seems way more interesting to me. I mean…I basically self-select games that don’t use these kinds of anti-cheat at all, but this is important information for a lot of people, especially if you’re looking for an off-ramp from Windows and still want to play some of the most popular live service titles.

    I don’t disagree, but the only a suff that comes to mind is COD or some other EA shovelware.

    Ultimately, if it gets more people on Linux, it’s a net positive.

      Grand Theft Auto Online, Battlefield 6, Destiny 2, League of Legends, Valorant, Fortnite, and on and on.

          Lol, I was gonna say that. I’m the wrong demographic for the affected games, apparently.

          Regardless, if Valve can work out a way for these games to be playable on Linux, I’m all for it.
