add a section for their hostility towards Linux? edit
from their steam user help page at https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049024592-Destiny-2-Steam-Guide we have this gem:
"Steam Deck and Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is not supported for play on the Steam Deck or on any system utilizing Steam Play's Proton unless Windows is installed and running. Players who attempt to launch Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck through SteamOS or Proton will be unable to enter the game and will be returned to their game library after a short time.
Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban."
- Good question, while it's not percieveably as egregious as their other actions, its still limiting consumer freedoms. Elxroid (talk) 12:11, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- I assume this is something to do with Kernel Level Anti-Cheats? it would seem odd to separate it as an 'anti-linux' stance if it's more about Kernel-level anticheats (which are just not compatible with Linux in the first place). Keith (talk) 13:33, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, its to do with anti-cheat, though I'm not sure if it was kernel level as this was back in 2021? users had been able to get around the Linux ban by editing the (hypervisor?) so that it looked like a windows device and the game apparently worked fine. However, people doing this would get their accounts banned. All this information is from recall and I'm not sure on my own accuracy. Elxroid (talk) 13:38, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- In that case it would definitely be best to get some proper sources on it, especially if it ends up in the article Keith (talk) 18:34, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Awesome, I'll start looking into it :) Elxroid (talk) 18:54, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
