Now what everyone wants to know, will videogames become free or will we have to pay to have our data swiped up while some of us just want to immerse ourselves into an universe and others just want a distraction?
I guess we all know the answer. We will pay double to have this blessing.

This is why I’m not enthusiastic about gaming on GNU/Linux. Game developers insist on being allowed to put random DRM/anti cheat shitware into the kernel itself. Like any other vampire, they must be allowed in. Of course they are going to harvest data.
I have a Windows machine for this stuff because I am under no illusion that I “own” a Windows machine in any true capacity.
