i wanna use the stuff i bought for windows, like my streamdeck (i'm aware that there's an FOSS app already), or my Thrustmaster steering wheel. Working together with big game companies to bring anticheat-protected games to linux would be awesome, but not something a single dev would be able to easily do.
my steering wheel and my stream deck are really holding me back right now. not using linux currently, but i'd have to boot into windows anytime i want to crash some cars in beam.ng
the question is: can we talk it out? what do the game devs have to gain from the game not running on linux? could the game being able to run on linux boost sales slightly?
this topic is really about being reasonable and not immediately bursting out into "big company bad"
