I don’t know if this is Windows trying to stop the hemorrhaging of users towards Linux, but its funny that this is likely to just cause multiplayer games to become even more compatible with Linux if anti-cheat moves out of the kernel.
It’s MS trying to not have another meltdown like CrowdStrike. They tried to do it with Vista, and they pussied out when all the same fucks cried out ‘but we can’t fuck with the OS like a bent-over ho’, and so MS let it slide in the ‘eventually’ to-do bin until it was demonstratably their fault for not clamping down on kernel access.
Also lol “willing to follow”, as I understand it MS isn’t giving them an option or opinion this time around. Gtfo of the kernel or your shit will stop working. I think the deadline is 2026, but it’s been a while since this was all announced.

Steam is already rubbing their hands grubbingly.

Didn’t think I’d be excited about something Microsoft is doing, but this sounds great!
oh don’t worry, the future will be worse. My prediction: full hardware attestation DRM linked to your personal information.
Ah yes, like Apple does. This makes sense.
