It's pretty crazy Valve can give a game a Steam Deck Playable rating, give it a special banner on the Steam page to note it's a most-played game on Steam Deck....and then the developer can just add anti-cheat, not enable it and tell people it was never officially supported huh?

- rockstar press hasn’t replied
- their support team just copy pasted the new FAQ entry to me and washed their hands of it
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

the wording of the FAQ regarding the Steam deck also reads a bit like "We don't give a f..."
in reply to Leandro (Cerberus1746)

@cerberus1746 yeah, Valve really need to have an opinion on this. It's a top 10 game on their console platform. They can't be laissez faire on this. They care about their customers in other ways, so this is the same. It really undermines the Steam support levels.
in reply to Bakunin Boys

@bakuninboys @cerberus1746 I have contacted Valve, waiting on a reply, and I will be doing a further article to discuss the situation but have to wait on Valve for a reply (or no reply) and see how long it takes them to update the Steam Deck rating too
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Honestly, this is why I use GOG to buy my games whenever possible.

As long as I have the offline installer backed up, I know my game will continue to work as expected.

To people who keep saying Microsoft are removing kernel-level stuff, it won't solve the situation, which I already wrote about:

gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/micr…

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

It won't solve it directly, but if win32 games are forced to abandon proprietary kernel anti-cheat in place of some kind of standardized Windows API, then potentially that API could be implemented on Linux/Wine.

A lot of other things need to fall in place for that to happen, though. I've been wondering what Valve were going to do about this for a while, I've speculated that maybe SteamOS could ship with a signed kernel, secure boot, remote attestation and run games in secure VMs?

@seyon I'll just point again, to the article of mine i linked you to, everyone is wrong on this, developers don't need kernel-level to block Linux, it means nothing for us

It's September 17, the anniversary of the start of Occupy Wall Street—a protest movement that, with each passing year, fewer of my students remember. So I wrote a book: ntnsndr.in/books/thank-you-ana…

"lol," as one organizer from then texted me this morning.
