The wonderful world of games running on your PC.

Recently I tried to get Dirt Rally 2.0 to run on my Linux gaming machine. Apparently, according to ProtonDB [0], the solution to get it to work is installing a fully trusted root-certificate from Codemasters on your system (not only in the Wine/Proton environment) [1].

In case you don't know, this means Codemasters can now man-in-the-middle every https connection from your computer. This is insane imho.

I tried to comment on that thread but they need full system information before you can post anything on ProtonDB.
