You definitely aren't wrong about this.
At his point on the internet, I actually can't tell if it's sarcasm or you're being genuine. You being an employee there I guess you could have more insight, so I'd like to know if you know more about this.

Quoting: KimyrielleHowever, there is some hope that MS will restrict kernel access after the Crowd Strike disaster, making this kind of anti-cheat impossible to implement down the road.
What happened to that story, if I may ask? Last I heard is that MS used the old EU anti-trust law as scapegoat for why they can't kick crowdtrike and co. out of the kernel, are there any updates to this story?

That's a Trojan horse. You buy the game at a discount, but then you have to buy one battle pass after another to be able to play with all the characters.
All I've been hearing about the game is the battlepass and microtransactions. Thankfully, I only ever play fighting games on game nights with friends, so none of that fomo shit works here, and I get to get it on a discount. If I decide to get the game I'll just do the training mode, or CPU matches at best. Online and fighting games is an oxymoron.

Have you been enjoying the Game Recording feature? Let me know how you've been getting on with it in the comments.
Oh yeah, it's about to become my main recording method. It's not perfect, still missing a couple options and features, but the core is rock solid, which is where most of these recording solutions fuck up.

I only play this game in the post-semester holidays, like it's some kind of graduation project. Excited for the toilet update.

Quoting: ekkaiyuI'm using it on my personal PC and, as of gaming, I'm playing Death Stranding via Heroic Games. Works wonderfully, I didn't have any bugs nor any stutter from graphics card (an year ago, I was having this issue under Pop OS).
Thank you for the insight, I'm not too worried about the gaming side, that should be what it excels at, I was more asking about how good it is in reuglar desktop usage, and if the gaming features come at a price to the traditional desktop somehow, for example?
