Hopefully this encourages developers and publishers to re-evaluate kernel level anything.
Sadly i don't think it has any impact. For example, for Riot games no one complained about Vanguard except Linux gamers.
I didnt buy Helldivers 2 because of it. Explained why to all my friends who kept trying to convince me to buy it. I didn’t convince them, they didn’t convince me… but hey I appreciate the warning in the future.

Yeah, i mean it's not useless to make it visible. It's a good news in the end.
Meanwhile hd2 runs just fine under Linux, without kernel fuckery.
Plenty of others complained, the difference was just that they could swallow the pill and keep playing. Linux players were just fucked.
