Sure but gaming is predominantly a social pastime. Meaning that most gamers will make the trade off between installing anticheat and not playing the game their friends are all playing, much like the overwhelming majority of people will trade privacy in favor of being able to send a message to friends on Facebook.

It doesn't matter how much you value your privacy: most people don't care and never will. So without the option to give away privacy to play the latest Ubisoft game they won't be using Linux. Full stop.

Not to mention the major hurdle for Linux gaming is anti cheat software being brought over. Too many games are 100% unplayable because the devs don't allow their anticheat to be installed on Linux systems

Nah brands can get yellow which is definitely not the same as the old blue checkmark nope

Ah the chaotic period where you could just pay to get a blue checkmark and brands couldn't do anything else.

Yeah that works. Who is the leader and how does it change? Does Lemmy.World take over because it's largest?

Consensus algorithms. But it means there will always be duplicate work.

No way around that unfortunately

If you were paid what you were worth the company wouldn't make any money.

Corporations exist by the excess value of their workers' labor, by definition.
