Microsoft Windows kernel changes don't suddenly mean big things for Linux gaming

At some point even Windows users should realize what the potential security implications are when they run these kernel level solutions in their ring zero. Right?

Even when such a solution would be released for Linux, would you allow it?

For me, it's not really an issue as I don't play multi player games. But I'm curious though.

I've seen a video about it. These companies have no morals. Everything goes. As long as they don't get caught.

Ah DOOM. I remember when it came out. My best friend and I got hold of the shareware copy. I believe it came on two 3.5" disks. We created our own sleeve with our custom hand drawn artwork. It became our most priced possession which, of course, we needed to guard with our lives.

So my friend got hold of a toy M16 automatic on a fan fare. He won it at one of the boots. Probably a shooting boot. It was blue with a red light when fired. Not really our thing. So we painted it black.

We also got some army clothes from a dump shop.

Now we could guard our most priced possession even better.

We took turns on who could hold the M16. As we only had one.

Do I still have this sleeve? No. As with most priced possessions, it got lost in time.

The memories remain though.

Historic multiplayer shooter Holdfast: Nations At War gets Steam Deck Verified after updates

Development with the Steam Deck was pleasantly straightforward and a lot of the game worked with little to no intervention. With a few touch ups and thanks to the Steam Deck's powerful hardware and brilliant design, it happily runs Holdfast and it's shenanigans with great graphical fidelity and at an impressive frame rate.

Dear game publishers, kindly take note of this statement.
