Assassin's Creed Origins is getting bombed with negative reviews because of Microsoft’s 24H2 Windows 11 update which has bricked the game for a lot of people. (x.com)

So, ironically, all games effected by this would run better on Linux through WINE with Proton. Funny how the tables have turned. Linux is absolutely the best platform for gaming now, not Windows.

While I agree on net, I don't think most people would by the simple fact that many of the most popular MP games simply don't work on Linux because they have Windows-only anti-cheat. That's not an OS problem since the devs could in many cases easily support it, but it is a problem that needs to be considered when discussing Linux for gaming.

That's not true. Most are battle-eye or easy-anti-cheat, both of which are supported on proton. The vast majority of multiplayer games you can play without issue. There's a handful from China that don't work, and anything with kernel level DRM or AC obviously, but I'd rather stay away from those anyway.

I did have trouble a long time ago with Squad, where the it was using an obsolete C++ thing, but the flatpak of Steam included it. It now works. Also, The Finals didn't work at launch because they hadn't updated their AC, but it does now.

Call of Duty, League of Legends, Valorant, and Battlefield. And those are all some of, if not the mostly populated multiplayer games.
