For example on Battlefield 4 Steam page there is this warning: Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required.
Only Battle.net account requirement is mentioned on OW2 page.

Quoting: ElectricPrismConcerns like this are why I have completely separate Linux Gaming Rigs from my work rigs. ( and why I prefer immutible root for certain use-cases like gaming )

Linux versions of anti cheats do not have unlimited access to your system unlike Windows, why do you feel the need of seperating your systems?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHmmm . . . how fundamentally incompatible with Wine?

AFAIK UWP apps use totally different APIs which aren't implemented in Wine so to get an UWP app running, a lot of functions should be added to Wine. Nobody has bothered to do this yet.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI don't have a good memory for acronyms; what's a UWP?

Universal Windows Platform. The package format used by Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass. UWP is incompatible with Wine, therefore anything in UWP is a no-go on Linux. The problem is that if Actibilzzard games get locked down to Game Pass or MS Store they cannot be played on Linux.

KDE Plasma added opt-in telemetry and life went on. Fedora is considering telemetry and it blew up for some reason.
