FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the [email protected] community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it’s stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]
Instead, here’s a link to the official post https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/4547038620960934857

Cleaning up files upon uninstall - Your uninstall script should already be cleaning up any files created or modified by your install process. However, we know that some older games may not fully remove files upon uninstall, and it isn’t possible to update the game any longer. Players need to know if any anti-cheat utilities have left files behind, especially those that modify OS kernel files.
This section alone shows how stupid kernel level anti-cheat is. Play a game and gain a persistent security risk. It’s actually a feature that such games don’t run on Linux.
This reminds me of the stupid Gigabyte RGB software…
Not sure if this is till the case, but for a long time the kernel driver had a known unpatched security vulnerability. And uninstalling the software did not remove the kernel files, so now your system is vulnerable until you reinstall Windows…
And I fully expect some kernel level Anti-Cheat to be no better in this regard.
I am dreading the day Gaben leaves Valve.
The day it goes public is the day it dies.
I really hope he has a good plan to pass the reigns to someone with the same integrity and philosophy.
Or go coop
Maybe he can pass it to an AI configured to uphold his ideals from beyond the grave?
Gaben’s wife GLaDOS
2072: Valve headquarters flooded with deadly neurotoxin
20789999999999: Valve employee wakes up in the -245th floor of their offices and must make their way back up to the surface
That’s hilarious, probably not in our lifetime but this is the future.
Yep, probably not. I’d prefer AI so much to our CEOs.
Long live Gaben.
Ah, yes, can’t wait for the time when humanity totally stagnates because we can’t even count on old people dying off to get rid of their outdated ideals. Gaben might have good ones but plenty of older people in power do not.
It is clear, we need more research into longevity, so he can become immortal.
“God emperor Gabe, what should we do today?”
“Go fight the Epic Games militia so we can defeat them once and for all.”
“Can we also work on Portal 3? It’s the 100th anniversary of the franchise soon.”
“Three? What’s that?”
Omg that logo. GoL is a hexbear confirmed!
In case you happen to be unaware, that’s EAC’s logo.
If it was just a joke, imagine I didn’t say anything.
EAC is heaxbear, confirmed!
