So basically, finally Linux time? I actually like Windows but I ain't putting up with that shit.
I donate to Gentoo every once in a while so I don't have to live this life.
Microsoft would be as stupid as your typical League of Legends player for going down that route. Doing this would be an own-goal and would give Linux market share instantly.
Wondering how will F2P games with anti-cheat react to the news. Knowing that much of their player base may jump ship to Linux to avoid the subscription fees, will they relent and start using less invasive anti-cheat programs, or will they try to adapt specific versions of Wine / Proton to work in rooted mode?

I dare them to try
Good thing that not one OS is Windows in our household and workshop.
There is literally no advantage in using Windows anymore for us.
Great for you! My only reasons to stay stuck with Windows are 1. anti-cheat and 2. niche programs that don't work correctly under Linux because they use several Windows programs in daisy-chain

They gotta be crazy to do this to consumer Windows, since it's been like, free for a lot of people now.
