This is extremely scary. Caution is always advised when downloading anything from the internet. Even from a well-respected open source project website.

Looks like Farlight 84 is now broken on Linux with their latest anti-cheat video calling it out

Well, they CAN (in theory) ban games with kernel level anti-cheat from their platform. It would be a harsh measure, for sure, but you could argue it with that technology being as intrusive as it is, including for Windows users.
You don't ban your business partners, it doesn't work like that.

New trailer for Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown has a rather bald Borg crew member

But before getting into details…what did they do to Seven of Nine?! Why do they have no hair? Or, do we get to pick an entirely different member of the Borg to join the crew? Quite possible given the nature of the game letting you do all sorts of different paths but I need answers.
Seven was bald in her assimilated era, when Borg vessel and Voyager agreed to temporarily work together.

But normal, humanized Seven is in the trailer as well?

I can imagine you will be able to add all kind of random crew members that were not part of the show: Borg, Kazon, Hirogen etc.

EDIT: Yeah now I saw that character in the trailer as well. Definitely a different character than Seven.

But it's a trend in online gaming to block Linux players and I really wish Valve would say, or better still do, something to address it.
They are doing as much as they can: they actively advocate against using kernel-level anticheat in games published on Steam and they ruled that games using it must disclose it on their Steam product pages.

Devs (or rather major publishers) simply don't care because their spyware-ish solution kinda works and saves them money in the long run.
