It's free to do, I think at one point it was $30 but now it's free, so long as you're updated to the most recent version. It's worth a shot if it's not in your means yet to switch over to a foss alterative.

do I really need this if all I do on windows 10 is just play one game and nothing else?

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

what game is it? there are games with exploits for people to gain access to your system but it's rare. it's also going to happen regardless of what OS someone is using since it's an exploit using the game's data rather than yours. lots of people still use windows 7 still who just go on youtube and shit. it's probably fine. i'm still on 10 myself and will probably still use it after next year when the extended support for my pc ends

team fortress 2. I guess the only thing I have to worry about is steam dropping support down the line?

you can just use linux if thats all you play if you’re not stuck on windows for some kinda school or work software

most valve games run natively on linux afaik

That's native on Linux as well. Give it a go?

Team Fortress 2 was literally the first Source Engine game Valve ported to Linux, back in 2012.
