I don't think "gamers" have been a united group, ever. Much of the gaming community is pretty toxic towards... each other.

Some gamer tells you to install some rando software and follow their instructions... you going to do that?

The software would have to be open source and auditable. Closed source NO chance.

I think you overestimate how much "gamers" would care about open source.

I don't know. I just hear everyone is pissed off that GPU prices are so high because of crypto in my circle of friends. Maybe in other parts of the country they don't care as much.

Caring about prices doesn't mean caring about any of the other things you attached to it.
