    If my device is dedicated to just games, sure, otherwise they can pound sand. Take a look around the world today. You think an org is just going to be like “ya this is for anti-cheat” and stop there? I laugh.

      That’s true, I suppose. I hadn’t really put that in the front of my mind, but none of my devices that are strictly for gaming are capable of running pc games. And all my PCs are multi-purpose, work, creative and gaming. So while that applies to me as well, I think even if I did have like a SteamDeck that was just for gaming but potentially capable of running other more “productivity” oriented programs, that specific scenario still wouldn’t really be at the forefront of my mind.
      Like…Valve is still an American company, and they can still be coerced by the government to put shady stuff into say the Steam app, or into SteamOS.
      Gotta wonder if maybe we should all just go back to monkee 🐒. Smash all our tech and live in a tree.
