Epic launches anti-cheat support for Linux, Mac, and Steam Deck

This is why I still use the console model with my gaming PC. It is exclusively for games without exception. I would have it boot directly into steam if I could get steam to boot other games like from Battle Net without so much work.

I mean this is why I use a console as my first choice gaming platform.

I did that for a long time, but I get a little too into FPS games and playing ranked against people who can see in the dark using game filters, have a high FOV not supported on console, 240FPS, and 1ms input lag I decided to switch. Cheating is a console problem too now that everything is doing crossplay anyway.

You can, actually. Steam can add non-steam games to the library, and also can stream them over Steam link. I've used that to play GoG games on Android TV.
