That seems to be the case with the majority of the streams I've seen, just folks havin fun with a few friends showing up now and then. I do like to check out the odd streamer I've never seen especially if it's a game I know really well. What games have you been streaming lately?
Nemoder
I ended up writing a perl script to generate a .m3u from a root music directory that shuffles all the subdirs so I can listen to full albums in random order instead of just tracks.
If you just adjust your justice you might just make it just.
Which is why it's so awesome that most of Steam Deck is actually fairly open, or at least as open as running steam on desktop Linux anyway.
Not FOSS but free2play and native with vulkan:

Palia is fun for awhile but not a lot of lasting content there yet.
An oldschool style Linux native MMO I still recommend is Project Gorgon. It's a very social game, while you can do a lot solo eventually you'll run into the game's only real punishment which is dying from a boss fight. You'll get a permanent curse that can only be lifted by defeating that boss and the best way to do that is to find other players in game to help you do it.
It's just a source release, not even a Linux port done yet. It should be possible to build it for DOS and run it in dosbox but I don't know the tools required for that.
Yeah that makes sense for how it works now, but I imagine if they plan to monetize installs they'd also make the telemetry required for all game functionality. That assumes they actually cared about the data and didn't plan to just make it all up and charge whatever they want.
Wouldn't unity just block the games from running if they don't connect? I guess you could crack the games, then maybe we'll have some weird future where devs encourage players to crack their games..
Some of the best family friendly co-op games I've played:
Stardew Valley
Valheim
Don't Starve Together
Looks like there is a bug that makes this game unstable on some kernels (like in default Ubuntu):

Yeah I like FPS games sometimes but I find them really hard to watch especially if the streamer is twitchy on the mouse and/or the bitrate isn't really high.
