    I'm confused, is this meant to be presented as new work? Windows has done this for a very long time.

    What a load of ableist bullshit. Guess what, you can have autism, ADHD and anxiety and still be really fucking clever. The article starts with the premise that they are incompatibl…

    Could a case have been made for defamation, as their actions had caused Steam to falsely label them as a cheat?
