I think it will be very easy to find a host that federated from them, making it easy to mitigate the damage.

Please post when you’re ready for beta waters. I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Never trust a rant from a person that can’t install Windows.

Just because you don’t know something, that doesn’t make it a secret, you just haven’t bothered to do a tiny bit of searching.

I wouldn’t call user-agent switchers a secret.

My issue(I think) is a combination of games utilizing anticheat(I’ve not gotten a single one to work yet) and also trying to play non-new games that were not designed during the Steam push for compatibility. I can’t use linux to play the games I like to play so I use a Win host for gaming and to run my linux install in a VM on the second screen.

Few games? Man, you and I are definitely having a different experience.
