    Honestly they can just fuck off. Anti cheat doesn’t work on linux? Ok I won’t play your game. Age verification will be just like that too. You require it? Guess I won’t play then. I’ll vote with my wallet.

      Fundamentally I agree with you, but what happens when your bank, credit cards and utilities start requiring integration with the OS to verify age?

    Anyone who thinks age verification and claims to be a linux fan needs to get their head on straight, this is meant to consolidate control not protect kids. They don’t give a shit about kids.
