The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

    Fuck kernel-level anticheat.

    I refuse to buy or play any games with Kernel Anti-cheat.

    And I will die on that hill.

      If it doesn’t run on Linux because of intrusive anti-cheats you probably shouldn’t install it anyway.

        Well if they are losing out on sales due to practices that are incompatible with Linux then companies are less likely to use those practices in the future.

          Remember back when people said nothing was wrong with Linux gaming and it was actually game studios that had to start developing for Linux so the studios changed their practices and started developing native Linux games? Yeah, me neither.

            Because people were still buying the games on Windows. If people start actively not buying things then it encourages change. If people complain but still buy it anyway then nothing will change. Vote with your wallet (which is what OP is doing).
