Story mode should be playable, there is a option to disable BattlEye in Rockstar Launcher
Seeing games I don't play get affected by kernel anti-cheat just gives me this big self-serving biased perception that my taste in games is good.
Your taste in games is good, friend! As long as you have fun with what you play, how could it be otherwise?

Shit, never mind. I play Dead by Daylight.
My decision to stop playing online games a few years ago continues to prove that it was a good choice. The games industry in general is going to shit but online games in particular are in race to the bottom of greed, malice, and contempt.
Many games are fun, especially with friends, even if they are crappy on a deeper look (micro transactions etc.). Most mobile games are fun at first–the trick is stopping when they aren't anymore.
With games blocking Linux users, we can't even enjoy the beginning. And many more won't even try to use it.
Reminder that, according to Valve, adding linux support to BattlEye is as simple reaching out to BattlEye and saying you want your game to run on linux.
So I guess those of us who would just go to a friend only server immediately upon starting the game, are fucked now if we are using linux. What a bunch of shit.
Yeah it's sad to see more games fixing their bad net code with client side anti cheat. Remember, GTA Online is a game where a lobby is transparently hosted on someones PC, which allows them to cheat however they want.
If Rockstar used proper dedicated servers, this wouldn't be an issue. Just like with Fall Guys and many other games.
A few weeks ago I thought about getting back into GTA Online, now I can't.
Yup. I put in a ticket with Rockstar and here is their official reply. TLDR: Fuck off.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.
We certainly understand that you are unable to login to GTA online through Steam Deck after the update.
We would like to inform you that the primary goal of incorporating BattlEye into GTA Online is to enhance the overall gaming experience by actively scanning for cheats and exploits, and preventing players with cheats and mods from entering online. The Steam Deck players will not be able to join GTA Online but should be able to launch single-player without any issues. we appreciate your understanding in this matter.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. We are here to assist you.
Best regards,
M______. Rockstar Support
People still play that p2w game mode?
I haven't played GTA 5 or online in a good few years now, but I'm curious, does this affect popular mods like fivem in any way?
E: TIL fivem was acquired by rockstar 🤡
