There are plenty of popular games that don't work on Linux, a notable example being Fortnite. One of the most popular games of all time.

Games that require kernel level spyware installed???

Good luck getting a Linux user to do make such stupid choice. Giving you a company kernel level aka full access to your operating system just to play a game. Yeah mate, normal people won't do that.

Fortnite?? Couldn't give half care about this game.

You don't need to like Fortnite. There are plenty of other games in the same boat.

The point is that "normal people won't do that" is objectively false. Fortnite is just a good example because it's so popular.

At any given moment there are tens or hundreds of thousands of normal people playing Fortnite, on windows, with anti cheat on.

> kernel level spyware

What does it spy on? I can only assume you’ve fully devirtualized and reversed Easy Anti-Cheat to be making such statements

> full access to your operating system

Man Epic Games must be cooking if they can poke at VTL1
