The effort of Proton is awesome. They did a lot for gaming out of Windows

I wish gamers found a new respect for their privacy and stopped demanding anti-cheat systems that are invasive. Then we can have the most compatibility we can.

Edit: typo

I don't think gamers are demanding invasive anti-cheats they just don't want to see cheaters in their games which is a different thing

No one like anti-cheats, some games even run worst with them, and because of that people who pirate the game get a way better experience most of the time than the ones who pay for they games. Also some anti-cheats lock you from playing in multiples devices in a short period of time, so if you share your library with your family/friends orif you like to play on different devices, you may be locked out of the game for a few days

Still waiting for the Deck to become officially available in Australia, but I'm pleased to see the progress recently in Linux gaming in general.

The same for the islands... We are screwed.

Gaben hates us all.

Same here on Brazil, it cost my two eyes to buy it from a reseller
