What's amusing here is that there are in the vicinity of about 800000 to 900000 Linux Gamers on Steam, and only about 12000 Stadia users, yet studios/publishers are more willing to throw money at those 12000 than to the hundreds of thousands of the rest of us.

Quoting: GuestIf I had any interest in this game I would still play it on Stadia.

Any game that will be a monstrous download should be on Stadia

Dude, this game is about 60GB. Monstrous, yes, but Stadia uses about 16GB an hour while you play. Waaaay worse.

Quoting: musojon74Pleased with their response. It can’t just have been Proton users review bombing it, why does it affect the Windows community so much? Also out of interest Denuvo not working would also affect Stadia wouldn’t it?

Stadia does not not need Denuvo since it's both piracy-proof and cheat/tamper proof.

Also, Windows users are upset because they too don't like software having kernel level access to their systems. Some users have even reported that the game just stopped working entirely after the update.

Quoting: keanThese programs are basically useless, I gave up on Rust and PUBG, because it was still full of cheaters.
I wish these will support Proton in the future, I would like to play some competitive FPS with my friends while sticking to Linux.

Feels to me like the point of those "anticheats" is not to get rid of cheaters at all... I wonder what their real purpose could be 🤔

It's snake oil for publishers.

Paranoia is fun. No, here the point IS to get rid of cheaters. You're thinking of DRM. Doom Eternal already uses Denuvo DRM, which, yes, is to make the pulbishers/shareholders happy. Denuvo anticheat is a different thing entirely.

I don't even know what kernel level means in the context of wine/proton.

Been playing AssCreed Odyssey and Life is Strange 2.

I don't have Doom Eternal m'self, but if anyone's interested, here's a script to downgrade it to the pre-Denuvo-anticheat version.

Going to stick to my prediction that one day after Microsoft have converted all their software to cloud-based services, they'll be shipping their own minimal Linux distro on some low-powered device.

Quoting: WorMzyStill waiting on Giana Sisters from Humble Indie Bundle 11.

To make it worse, the game's launcher makes it not even launch via Proton.

Quoting: MnolegGetting started with MUDs has been in my TODO list for some time. Any recommendations? Thank you.

Could start with BatMUD. Quite friendly, I think.
