Unfortunately those pesky live service games that have the most player counts are disproportionately represented in that 10%.

They tend to require installing a rootkit on your own computer. I wouldn't buy them even if they did support Linux.

Single player games are where I'm at so this really doesn't affect me

Wonder if they can build on top of eBPF? I think Windows is trying to implement it too

I have a console for those, just never liked them on pc, feels wrong to install them when I have other options for mouse and keyboard play that I would avoid with a controller

The correlation between people playing those games and not giving a fuck about digital privacy is probably huge.
