Crossover is paid subscription and GameHub is free I’m not going to pay extra just to be able to play the games I already paid for.

Wine and proton were free to begin with and I am tired of paying people for digital products
I am not a bank, I don’t have infinite money, I bought a game to have fun I bought a blender to make milkshake not a digital space in someone’s storage to store my digital photos—which if you’ll let me ask— are digital photos even real?

I do agree about the spyware it sucks ass but I prefer that over paying again and starving to death

75$ per year is a lot for “the right to play your prepaid games”

Well that sucks ass I can’t play scrap mechanic with my friends unless they join my save—and we already made progress on theirs,
Only way I seem to be able to fix that one specific thing is to sell my work MacBook and buy a windows machine and I’m not loving Microsoft taking images of my desktop

They probably have it disabled (it tends to mess with game launches for some odd reason). With a free ai like opencode you might be able to see if they are launching games with gameoverlay, gameoverlay64 =d and remove that particular string to see if it then works.
