Good timing, I was just today considering playing Diablo III on my Steam Deck (or trying to)... based on your experience, I guess that might be a bad idea to even try.



I know Activision now owns Blizzard, but I don't know the extent to which these policies apply across other games. I know World of Warcraft has an active and thriving Linux user base still. I recommend checking https://appdb.winehq.org and https://protondb.org for reports on game compatibility.


I think the gameplay and architecture of WoW means there isn't a huge market for "competitive advantage" cheats. Macros let you do most of that stuff yourself, and something that would auto-interrupt a particular spell is probably detrimental at high levels of play.

The only "cheats" I ever really saw WoW care about was botting, and that's probably easier to catch server-side than client-side anyways. Why monitor inputs when you can just see who's been fishing for the past 24 hours in a row?


Microsoft now owns both.


Actually apparently I'm wrong; looks like that's not finalized yet, and now the FTC is seeking to block it.


no Diablo III and D2R work fine on wine, they don't have anti cheat like their shooters do


Oh for real? Nice, that's good to hear. Maybe worth checking into, then...
