Bad news: Playstation is starting to block their games from running on Proton. Playstation Overlay is blocked on Linux in Ghost of Tsushima. The same thing happened with the Concord beta. (x.com)

I've seen this posted before, this is the first time I've actually read the whole thing. I knew what it was, and what it did, but I never knew about the "uninstaller" part of it.

The fact that they doubled down and made an uninstaller for it that didn't actually uninstall it and ADDED ANOTHER root kit + a backdoor to the system, blows my mind.
