I would still like to know which and why. Usually there are alternatives out even for those multiplayer games. Example -> all the valve Games / Blizards Games are good too ;)

sadly most online mp games have kernel-level anti-cheat that doesn’t run on linux

  i can't agree with this general statement. i guess it's important to understand that a lot of the multiplayer games you wanna currently play have some kind of protection which makes it currently not suitable to run on linux.
  just to give a different view mp games which currently seem to work ( checked protondb ):
  - Eldenring Nightreign
  - Dark and Darker (used to work)
  - Helldivers & Helldivers 2
  - Arc Raiders
  - Counter Strike
  - Overwatch
  - DOOM in very different versions
  - Quake Live
  - Hunt Showdown 1896
  - Dead by Daylight
  - Warframe
  with all respect for the games you currently love so much, please don't make general statements.
  A personal advice i want to give: Only change to linux if you are also willing to change yourself and adapt. Linux is not Windows like, Mac OS is not Windows , like a Playstation is not a XBOX or a Switch.

    i know a lot of the mp games i play have an anti-cheat that doesn’t support linux, i’m blaming the AC devs here, not linux.
    
    as for my general statement, i used this handy little website: areweanticheatyet.com note how i said most mp games w anti-cheat can’t run on linux. i think 59% qualifies as ‘most’.
    
    i’m rlly not sure why you’re so defensive here ngl, i love linux. i use linux on one of my pcs for development, i’m not attacking linux in any way.

Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don’t have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.
