I guess I'm no longer ever going to play a video game that runs on Windows. At some point game developers need to realize that Linux is the future of gaming if Windows keeps pulling this shit.

That's what Proton is for.

Except for games that use kernel level anti-cheat.

Which won't matter at all once they start losing market share to Microsoft's stupid decisions. The world will not sit on its thumbs because of Fortnight players. And good riddance in any case.

You mean the shitty games? Oh no...

I have 100 or so steam games. Each one that I've tried (around 20 so far), all of them work perfectly well on my Linux box.

Proton works great. I now play all my windows-"only" games on Linux.

Not out of principle. I'm just lazy. My coding laptop is always within reach and Proton works. The Windows laptop is, like, way over on the other side of the living room and I don't feel like spending the evening disabling more ad shit or ai shit or whatever they did to Windows since I used it last.
