Valve announced a change for Steam today that will make things a lot clearer for everyone, as developers will now need to clearly list the kernel-level anti-cheat used on Steam store pages.

    Sadly i don’t think it has any impact. For example, for Riot games no one complained about Vanguard except Linux gamers.

      I didnt buy Helldivers 2 because of it. Explained why to all my friends who kept trying to convince me to buy it. I didn’t convince them, they didn’t convince me… but hey I appreciate the warning in the future.

        Yeah, i mean it’s not useless to make it visible. It’s a good news in the end.

        Funnily enough it was HD2 that finally convinced a few of my friends to hop on over the Linux

      Plenty of others complained, the difference was just that they could swallow the pill and keep playing. Linux players were just fucked.
