Microsoft has long wanted to get vendors out of the kernel. It’s a huge privacy/security/stability risk, and causes major issues like the Crowdstrike outage.
Most of those issues also apply to kernel anti-cheat as well, and it’s likely that Microsoft will also attempt to move anti-cheat vendors out of kernel space. The biggest gaming issues with steamOS/Linux are kernel anti-cheat not working, so this could be huge for having full compatibility of multiplayer games on Linux.
Hence why the gamers are moving into Linux.
Being treated like a second class citizen after spending thousands of dollars on a hardware is a clown exercise.
Or letting some creeps like Satya run the rig like his own 🤢
