Honestly Valve needs to have a policy for this. If a game that once worked on Steamdeck and now no longer works after publisher intervention then refunds need to be issued. I have BF2042, BFV and BF1 and 1 was the LAST one I could still play on Linux. Now I have 3 digital paperweights that I can't play anymore. I want my money back.
Worth trying to refund. I read they refunded owners of GTAV when a similar situation happened.
I tried, unfortunately my purchase was a 4-pack deal and Steam couldn't refund mine separately from the other three licenses. shrug
“Solves nothing” is a stretch. These companies don’t still apply anti-cheat because it does nothing.
It doesn't just do nothing. They know for sure it does nothing, is not theoretically capable of doing more than nothing to prevent cheating, and that it is a giant security hole.
They just don't care, because it lets them install a rootkit on your computer.
Oh, so it does nothing, and it’s a conspiracy to rootkit your computer so they can do other things(?). I see.
It does nothing to prevent cheating because cheating does not require access to your computer.
The fact that they're rootkits is not a conspiracy. It's not a secret that they have kernel access.
