Thank you yes that's exactly it and let's be real, I don't think even Valve really gives that much of a fuck about Linux users. It could well be they consider it fine to boot Linux off multiplayer games because they've seen how normie gamers are absolutely fine with putting literal spyware on their machines and they know more privacy oriented Linux users will simply avoid these games anyway when they see them or stubbornly resist.

It's not even going to be worth it for a lot of Linux users at this rate to be running dual boot Windows which I know a lot of them do because then simply having windows on your machine opens you up to all sorts of crap.

Mind you, something I've been thinking about would be very unpopular with the trading addicts on these games. Many of them will be cheating to game the system so if it were me I'd disable the entire system entirely and make it so players could only directly buy skins from now on and speculators couldn't make money off it by trying to cheat their way through the system. It wouldn't get rid of the cheating entirely but it would certainly get rid of the incentive because I think that's where most of this stuff comes from.

Looking at CS:2 as well I'd been playing it recently out of boredom and with how retarded the players are generally I'm wondering how many of them really are bots looking to try and idle their way through the game in order to get case drops. It's already a thing on fortnite to do that so I don't see why it couldn't happen there too.
