I’m optimistic about the idea that game developers will stop being allowed to install fucking malware.
I don’t trust Microsoft at all, but you shouldn’t be able to consent to that bullshit in an EULA no one has ever read.
Comment on Microsoft paves the way for Linux gaming success with plan that would kill kernel-level anti-cheat

People seem oddly optimistic about all of this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the solution they came up with still wouldn’t work in Linux. I don’t know how exactly they’d do it, but I can imagine some encryption key or hardware nonsense that Linux can’t replicate.

@savvywolf I imagine that they would instead force them to use a certain API that wouldn't be so easy to replicate on Linux.

API calls would still be a lot easier to replicate through wine/proton than completely uncontrolled kernel access.

Either way, making all the software developers who insist on messing with the kernel on windows, stop, will be a good thing.
