Hey bud. The original comment was a joke.

Lol bold opinion on this site when people are already responding that its good for Linux gaming that it won’t play games that has intrusive anticheat. I’ll admit sure it’s better for security, but to think that’s a good thing for gaming on Linux is hilarious.

No, it’s obviously better to have the choice (run the game or not). And losing a game that previously worked on Linux is obviously a bad thing, hence the joke about it being good.

Of course you could argue that taking a stance against this kind of intrusive anticheat is good in the long run. If Microsoft had a backbone they’d do the same.

But yeah losing games because of anticheat is obviously a bad thing lol. No need to take it so seriously.

The comment was about valorant, did that one ever work on Linux, if so I wasn’t aware that they figured it out. Didnt seem like a joke, and people are unironocally agreeing with it soooo

there was a way to play Valorant via qemu and GPU passthrough. But that was long “fixed”. Now they are pushing Vanguard onto League as well.
