Most games on itch.io are not DRMed.
I like that it keeps those kinds of malware out of my reach, and I don’t mind skipping games that use them.
I would like for it to go away entirely though. Both because I find it an appalling practice, and because I want more gamers playing more games on Linux.
"Congress is engaged in a witch hunt" is so 1950s.
"Civil rights should be applied to everyone" is so 1960s.
"Fossil Fuels are destroying the plant" is so 1970s.
"Unregulated free trade is dangerous" is so 1980s.
"The police are out of control and unduly target minorities" is so 1990s.
Something being old doesn't make it less relevant or important.
It means we need to say it louder, because for some reason the point hasn't been made clearly enough yet.

You don't have to play Valorant, but if you do you probably want to play without cheaters. It's either get hated for having cheaters (like CS2) or get hated for having invasive Anti-Cheat (Valorant). There's no third option.
In any case, good for Riot, and good especially for their players!
