    Seems like Microsoft is who should be supporting Windows. It isn’t like Valve can fix Windows issues as Windows isn’t open source.

    Valve offering drivers and notes is what they are able to offer for someone else’s proprietary product.

      Microsoft support one of their own products? Crazy talk.

        The dumbest part of the article is that the author seems to be blaming Valve for games that chose a kernel level anticheat that only works with Windows and consoles.

        But because many anti-cheat apps still aren’t compatible with Linux (hence, SteamOS), installing Windows on Steam hardware is currently the only way that gamers can enjoy titles that require them.

        That isn’t even a Windows issue. That is a publisher choosing an anticheat that has stupid limitations.

          Funny enough, Microsoft is trying to stop kernel antivirus and anticheats due to CrowdStrike…
