Agreed. The only major problems right now are alternative clients and anti-cheat engines (many of which inject themselves into the Windows Kernel, yeah...) not working. Seems Valve may be leaning on publishers to fix that though.[0]

- alias_neo 7y agoHopefully, for people like myself, who really aren't into multiplayer, that'll be less of an issue. I'm not sure which games do and don't contain EAC but I've generally had good results with my catalogue on Stream Play the biggest limitation being those which use Windows-specific codecs for their cut scenes or sounds.

- cameronbrown 7y agoNot condoning piracy, but it is a great equaliser. Hackers and modders will find their way around anti cheats anyway, I believe there's nothing unethical about exploiting that to play through Linux. But yeah Epic Games is terrible. GOG/Humble have done wonders for Linux as alternative stores.
