If you play DRMed AAA stuff, that's still true unfornately (if you can't do VM with PCIe passthrough).
Personally I just opt to not play these games. The market dicides in the end.
Some of the "anticheat" systems straight up decide not to work on VMs even with PCIE passthrough et. al. For example, I cannot run Elden Ring with its trash DRM because it says it cannot run under VM. I have PCIE passthrough, and the CPU id also passes through. Only the chipset reports anything VM, yet the "anticheat" decides not to run.
Fuck DRM. It has done nothing except push me to pirate more when I LITERALLY AM buying the games. Fuck those greedy actual morons (corporations who deploy DRM, not FromSoft specifically).
Elden Ring does run quite nicely on Linux via Proton, though.
A little birdie told me there's a fit girl on the internet who might be able to help
I will always upvote Amelie. She needs donations too
Infind most AAA games to be such shit compared to indie games these days it's almost laughable.
