How long before Microsoft forces them to change the name?

I'm reminded of the famous quote by Ronald Reagan, "One of the most terrifying phrases in the English language is, 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.'" Frankly, I have no faith that any government organization -- and especially the European Union -- will be able to fix the Internet. The only thing governments ever offer as a solution is more control and less freedom, and that's rarely a good thing. Just look what happened to this site. I'm honestly surprised that comments to articles are still allowed.

Anyway, [Denuvo] almost always add bugs and/or performance issues.

This is a common complaint, but as far as I know, it has never been conclusively proven. It's mostly just anecdotal with people seeing bad performance and blaming Denuvo because "This other game without Denuvo works just fine!" which is hardly definitive. Anecdotally, I have had no issues whatsoever with any game using Denuvo.

The Steam authenticator has a recovery code, and you can generate 30 one time use backup codes, all of which can be securely stored somewhere like a password safe such as BitWarden or KeePass, so even if your phone is stolen or bricked, you won't be locked out of your account.

This is an indictment of modern news organizations, where someone can anonymously post false information to a website, and it gets picked up as a legitimate story without anybody bothering to vet it. Liam being an exception, of course.

So another game that I'm going notice in my Steam library two years from now and ask myself, "Where the heck did this come from?"

Proton is a blessing and a curse. More games than ever can run on Linux, but developers and publishers are more then happy to focus on Windows and consoles while shifting the burden of Linux support to Valve

We get excited every time Microsoft screws over its customers, thinking it will finally compel a significant number of people to flee to the greener pastures of Linux, but it never happens. Unfortunately, Bill Gates was excellent at his job and convinced multiple generations that there is no viable alternative to Windows.

No wonder Valve doesn't have time to make Half-Life 3, they're too busy making everybody else's games work in Proton.

So basically a Steam Deck with microtransactions.
