Unfortunately those pesky live service games that have the most player counts are disproportionately represented in that 10%.
They tend to require installing a rootkit on your own computer. I wouldn't buy them even if they did support Linux.
Single player games are where I'm at so this really doesn't affect me
you are a minority in this case
I have a console for those, just never liked them on pc, feels wrong to install them when I have other options for mouse and keyboard play that I would avoid with a controller
Wonder if they can build on top of eBPF? I think Windows is trying to implement it too
The correlation between people playing those games and not giving a fuck about digital privacy is probably huge.
