Helldivers 2 will use a rootkit anti-cheat, nProtect GameGuard (self.linux_gaming)

50/50 chance this breaks Deck and linux support, especially since the commenters' inquiries about it have gone unanswered.

Bogles my mind why a PvE game needs an anti-cheat at all - let alone something as invasive as a rootkit.
