There's plenty of multiplayer games that run just fine on linux. Including FPS games with perfectly functional anti cheat, it's just a select few which are unfortunately very popular that actively block linux. This is the part where you put your money where your mouth is and support the games that support the system you want to game on.
That sounds better - now I just wish those were the games that I play.
Try other games? Whatever kind of game you like, there's likely a less invasive alternative. We're no longer in the era of game scarcity.
I wish it was that simple... though I do like my games enough that it's a pretty unpleasant choice either way, my friends who play also refuse to change games just for my sake, and they don't mind using Windows. Therefore I can basically stop playing with them, or stick with this rubbish.
