Kernel level anti-cheat is what's probably going to keep me on Windows for a while. I get those games aren't for everyone, but I like them well enough, and that's what my friend group plays. Warzone, DMZ, and going to try RedSec tomorrow. Kind of a shame. Otherwise I'd love to make the jump. As it is I'll probably see about dual booting when I get my next PC in a year or two.

    I respect where you're coming from, but a) "fool" is literally in my name. And b) you're saying "there are other good games, leave those games you're enjoying." But you're also saying "there are other people, leave your friends and family that you play with." And that's a little different.

    You should try to strengthen your relationship so that they don't spin around a specific videogame. What happens if you get banned or the requirements for playing the game becomes even more stupid?

    It's not 1 specific game but 1 genre - competitive online multiplayer titles. OP lists 2 such games. They're not what I play but to each their own.

    Enjoying a particular genre of games together as a group doesn't make make for a weak relationship. The fact OP plays a range of titles regularly with a group of friends suggests the opposite to me.
