I'd kind of like Steam to have the ability to indicate games that can run offline in its Store and enforce this by running the game in a container without network access.
I run all my games in Linux and everything but Steam goes via Lutris which I configured to, by default, launch them inside a Firejail sandbox with no network access (plus a bunch of other security related limitations) something which I can override for specific games if needed.
It's interesting that Steam games are actually the least secure to run in Linux and with a configuration as I have it's literally safer to run pirated shit downloaded from the Internet than Steam games.
You know that's not too unreasonable thinking about it, I'm pretty sure their proton setup works in a similar way
Yes please!
