Comments like yours are inappropriate and are the lowest form of response, referencing anything to cancer is horrendous mate. I get it you don't agree with their practises but come on. Use a different analargy.

Well people are going to see it at soon as they get a good chunk of the market from steam (i hope that never happens but certainly will they have an insane ammount of $) ... Later the complain will come...

Dunno how stupid people buy from them, i was stupid enough to get Outriders from them (was only 24 in my country on release) and a.lot of the time i could not play because it failed to validate my f. Real copy... same was happening with FF7 to a friend and few people online... Always online is bullshit, especially when your server are so bad (that you give a popular game for free and it crash)

@orb

The term "cancer" has been actively used to describe something parasitic, or even just negative, for ages now.
You need to get over your personal bias towards using what equates to nothing more than slang.

I'm the one hundred millionth person in the world to use it in that way, and it in no means has me attacking anyone but EPIC, themselves.

Like, I mean no offense to you. But I wasn't expecting a single person to take offense to that word. It's known and used slang at this point.

Valve thought about that, you can install windows (can they sell it with windows ? Sure but it would cost a lot more since theyd need to pay for the licenses)... there will be a billion videos on how to do it once it release and licences online are 10$ only or less... They probably are trying to bypass the easyanti cheat with proton since some proton versions has bypassed them to some extend (some ppl got banned!!!) but its hard thing as well because then some idiots could have a way around cheating using the proton code)

Usually games with anticheat are competitive, I actually dont see the steam deck for that market tbh

Considering most anti-cheats are borderline rootkits it's no surprise. Windows API hooking doesn't exactly work well in linux. Chances are it'll be detected as running in a virtual machine before the anti-cheat can even kick in in the first place.
