      Issues are issues, even if they don’t look like issues on your end.

      • I hate anticheat as much as the next person, but it needs to work, since companies refuse to stop using those, and the average “competitive FPS gamer” won’t care if the company decided to not update the anti-cheat version to support Linux, all they’ll see is that the game they want to play doesn’t work (which happened and got into Luke’s relationship with his friends);
      • Also having a couple specific games that are difficult/impossible to run is also a fucking pain in the ass (and I say that as someone who has dealt with this a lot before). You spend hours looking for a way to make the game run when on Windows all you’d need to do is hit “play”;

      You should try having basic empathy for other people.

        anticheat […] needs to work

        Anticheat is like DRM, it can’t work by design if you own the machine it runs on. It’s just wastes power for nothing, why should anyone spend the effort to get it running?

        You spend hours looking for a way to make the game run when on Windows all you’d need to do is hit “play”;

        Is this a Linux bug or a shortcoming of the publisher?

      I remember when we would just vote-ban ppl who were cheating 😩

      But now, most game companies want you to play on their servers, so they can control everything, and make sure you buy their microtransations instead of installing mods…
