Cool but also meh, I really like steams and have had 0 issues getting games to play.

It's a great option for people who wants to play those games where the anti cheat system doesn't support Linux

The assholes with that anticheat need to be pressured to do Linux support properly, not people that run after them!

A part of me wishes hackers do a Crowdstrike on Vanguard to stop this trend.

[–] YourPrivatHater@ani.social 1 points 2 months ago

Nah, i hope they steal the code and build viruses on it that use the kernel level permissions so these asshole are liable for everything.

Also great for people who want to take advantage of gamepass.
