I’m willing to celebrate… if it’s a net positive in the end. Linux gamers being able to play big titles, or game with Windows-using friends is good. Having to run DRM/adware/rootkit “anti-cheat”, subscriptions and dark patterns is very bad.
My outlook on the modern games industry is very low overall and I don’t see how to fix it. If I could do anything I’d instead promote and invest into “open source” games (software freedom respecting games).
That would all depend on both the Linux kernel accepting that to the upstream (which, let’s remember crowdstrike), and each distro not removing it. I sincerely doubt that is what this role is. This role is much more likely how to make anti cheat work in linux somehow without kernel access.
