The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

    We don’t need spy backdoors in Linux, keep that shit in Windows.

    Adoption does not include bad things.

      Yes, it does. Whoever wants to install the “spy backdoors” should be able to. It’s called freedom. Look it up.

        You can break it yourself if you compile your own kernel. I do, btw.

        No need to support it for the general public.

          Unless the general public wants to play a game that requires it. You’re living in your own world.

            Stop giving companies excuses to do outrageous shit.

            Like it’s absolutely mindboggling how much shit do people eat in order to play a game. Kernel level anticheat has access to your entire computer, and you can’t even know what it does.

            And for absolutely no benefit at all. You can make anticheats on server, or simple client stuff without reading your entire memory.
