An article from this weekend that seemingly got buried by soundbites about the Steam Machine price in the same interview, but given that we have no information on price, this seems way more interesting to me. I mean…I basically self-select games that don’t use these kinds of anti-cheat at all, but this is important information for a lot of people, especially if you’re looking for an off-ramp from Windows and still want to play some of the most popular live service titles.
Please make this optional. I’d rather not have any third party kernel modules mucking around in my OS. I don’t use anything the requires this.
The article only mentions TPM not 3rd party modules. I’m guessing the idea is that you will have to run an approved kernel.
It is optional what games you purchase and install
Well yeah of course it’s optional already. If you don’t want that then you just don’t buy those games.
Except people are going to still buy those games, still complain for something to be done and when the potential resolution is there, they’ll go “I DON’T WANT IT!” and just cycle through.
Fuck sakes, some people…
