Any chance we see new devs pick up this anticheat to make their games work on windows desktop pcs and Linux handhelds alike? With win 10 death and steam deck 2 certainly in their forecasting, I wonder if valve is gonna push Microsoft around a little.
One could argue windows wouldn't have the market share it does without steam. Maybe steam Linux support becomes a priority over windows now.
Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) is available to all developers using the Steam Platform, but it's not particularly effective unless you apply personal tweaks or use it in conjunction with another anticheat system (such as sigh kernel level anticheats).
Many of the big PVP games on Steam employ this hybrid system, with some cheaters getting VAC'd and others receiving "Game bans" because of the different tools employed.
