Anti-cheat will still be one of the biggest problems for the new Steam Machine

  Good it’ll teach companies they don’t get to have “trusted execution” on a custies client device.

  My hardware should run the software on it the way I want. If my computer works against me on purpose, that should be considered malware.

  If you want me to not do something to your computer you should be increasing your server-side security, not breaking my client-side security.

  That’s a win not a problem.

    Yeah there is no fear of traffic or application usage being spied on when the machine is only used for gaming.

  I’m hoping their tune will change once companies realize they’re losing millions of dollars from lost sales and paying anti cheat millions.

  The new BF sold 7 million copies. If they supported linux and was able to get 3% more sales, that’s 12.6 million usd.

  I dont understand what they mean, outside of the ones that need you to enable secure booting (which we can do in linux, hell we can even segment that wine uses the fTPM on chip and the linux install uses a plugged in TPM), but you can use battleeye and EAC just fine on linux, I do it daily.
