As with anticheat games which pushed the popularity of other non slop games on Linux, the widevine support tiers situation will have the long term positive effect of teaching people how to torrent and seed.
I wonder if you can circumvent it with a windows virtual machine?
Easy Anti-Cheat runs natively on Linux, but this needs to be explicitly enabled by the publisher. Valve may have the clout to move this along for better or worse.
(Obligatory disclaimer that all client-side anti-cheat software is malware.)
In my heart of hearts maybe Valve could work out a modified, proprietary version of the linux kernel with the anti-cheat blobs required to appease these corpos. But Linux is notoriously not well suited for third party, out-of-tree kernels, especially the proprietary functionality required for this to work.
