I may seem like an amateur, and I am, but why not create a specific linux kernel for this kind of games ?
An other option is that when you enter the steam gamemode, and a game is launched, the steam environment with the game is sandboxed.
Third solution: reimplement user kick voting

These only try to fix the symptoms, not the problem. The problem isn't that they cannot keep all the cheaters out. Cheaters will always exist. The problem is that we cannot control the servers and kick them ourselves. And the solution to that is dedicated servers.

As a best practice, all Steam keys have a 90-day redemption window. After that, unredeemed and unrevealed keys will expire and be returned to the developer.

That's a rather short window and makes it largely impossible to buy something to give away later, for example as a Christmas present.
And the lack of Paypal is also less than stellar.
The current bundle isn't bad though.

Pillars of Eternity or Power over Ethernet. Both are PoE and I always think of both with the acronym.

Well, now you've got me praying for Power over Ethernet never going turn-based! :grin:

Yeah, they lost a sale here, thanks to Denuvo. I never played the originals, but would love to have given this a try.

Yeah... me too. :sad:

I used to own a compilation of the first 3(?) Splinter Cell games – maybe I still do have that DVD somewhere...

This isn't Elite Force 3...
Well, I guess that means I have to replay 1&2 again. It's been some time. :grin:

If it's an online game and has an online community, we're not allowed to crumble because we would be in violation, right?

Of course you are allowed to crumble. The petition aims at getting you to make plans in advance what will happen to the game and the code if it really comes to that.
