The dumbest part of the article is that the author seems to be blaming Valve for games that chose a kernel level anticheat that only works with Windows and consoles.
But because many anti-cheat apps still aren’t compatible with Linux (hence, SteamOS), installing Windows on Steam hardware is currently the only way that gamers can enjoy titles that require them.
That isn’t even a Windows issue. That is a publisher choosing an anticheat that has stupid limitations.
Yes. Windows is amazing for developers. It has Linux built in to it so you can use Linux on it as well as Windows. Windows is the best platform for developers that aren’t Mac exclusive.
I’m not going to spend time writing up my experience just for you to tell me it was my fault or it didn’t happen. I have been on the internet for a bit now, I know this game. It happened.
Microsoft support one of their own products? Crazy talk.

Funny enough, Microsoft is trying to stop kernel antivirus and anticheats due to CrowdStrike…
Well valve chose to release their product that runs their OS that doesn’t support what developers/publishers want, so yeah, that’s on valve.
You think developers WANT to work with Windows?
Yes. Windows is amazing for developers. It has Linux built in to it so you can use Linux on it as well as Windows. Windows is the best platform for developers that aren’t Mac exclusive.
I actually tried to use windows for dev work a few years ago and had an experience that couldn’t be more opposite to your claims
In what way?

So you’re just making it up or you just didn’t want to like it, like the guy in the article. Gotcha.
If there’s one thing windows is unquestionably amazing at, it’s being used for developing software.
