Gamers are rapidly being released from the domineering clutches of Microsoft. Free at last! - if you so choose.

Apple never appreciated gamers. But Linux is a good home for gamers and will likely be better in the long run than Windows.

Seeing as 'Easy AntiCheat' is the root cause of many system crashes, this is probably not a good thing.

Oh man I want a Steam Deck very badly. I hope Steam will take measures to protect its' buyers from the bots.

And yet we're still chained down to Valve and/or the publisher of the games.

Where's the "freedom" if we're still using proprietary, DRM controlled software in the end?
