scalpers bought copies on Steam priced cheaper in certain regions. If you release a game on Valve’s store and don’t set the price in each region individually, universal pricing creates discrepancies where this can happen. These were then being sold on less regulated marketplaces.
This could be prevented by not doing regional price discrimination.


If you wanted to test it, you could try sandboxing it to run as an unprivileged user with access to nothing else on the operating system. They claim it will run without needing sudo or root.
I’m not gonna test it though. I’m not willing to use a distro that doesn’t let me compile and install my own kernel modules.
[edit] I read a bit more, looks like they are allowing unprivileged code into the kernel. That’s apparently what eBPF does.
Stay far away from this project.
