      Seems about 40% working, I personally only have one game that doesn’t jive with Linux. If the game you’re playing doesn’t work that’s the fault of the specific anti-cheat developers because it’s obviously possible to do it right.

        Sure, but from the end user perspective, it doesn’t matter whose fault it is - the result is you can’t play a game you otherwise just can in Windows. We know it’s their fault.

        If you never play any games with anticheat that’s fine, but all it takes is one game, and then later another, and then later another, to make Linux a dealbreaker for many gamers. These are not unpopular games.

        It can be the whole difference between someone sticking with Windows but itching to make the switch, and someone actually making the switch.

        What good is 90% of games working if you have 3 games that you really want to play that don’t work?

          What good are those 3 games you want to play if they don’t work on the OS you want to use?

          It’s just a matter of priority, about 8 years ago, I just made the decision to not play a game if it doesn’t work on Linux.

            The game doesn’t become inherently less enjoyable just because your system doesn’t meet the requirements to run it.

            There is a big problem in having to change your worldview so that no longer being able to enjoy a game you wanted to experience becomes a non-issue.

              I’m not sure I understand what you mean, but if I understand you correctly, I think the same logic can be applied to using n OS of choice.

              I still think it’s an issue of priority.
