I don't want to be rude. Can I point out typos here? "This news all sounds quite exiting,..."

I hope the anti-cheat issue is resolved soon. If hardware vendors can provide OS verification on Linux, then signed anti-cheat drivers can be loaded with more trust. Overall, I'm against kernel-level anti-cheat, but the reality of the situation calls for it for some popular competitive games.

I can't imagine the Linux community ever embracing rootkits for the sake of optional entertainment. It's pretty much antithetical to the reason Linux exists in the first place.

Yep, that'll never happen.

The Linux community doesn't need to embrace it, hardware vendors (especially for gaming hardware) just need to standardize a way to verify the OS (which secure boot and TPM already help provide). Then, anti-cheat can be loaded using DKMS or user-space anti-cheat can just check for OS tampering.

not to be pedantic, but Linux exists because Minix was too expensive and hard to tinker with

This sounds really great for the future of gaming on Linux (title drop), as I believe this is basically a bunch of really good devs banding together to make something nice. I just hope we don't end up with yet more fragmentation in the end.
