Not yet, in order to be ready for mainstream gaming, the gaming experience has to be smooth (As in easy to install, Mod & patch)

It's smoother than Windows gaming was when I started Windows gaming (win 95).

Not until they implement 3D Settings page in the Nvidia control panel, and improve upon HDR support. Do those two things, and I will finally stop having to dual boot.

Edit: And yes anticheat needs to be sorted as well, as others have pointed out.

I would say mainstream should become this: game has client-side kernel level anti-cheat? Goes right into trash bin

Hell, I do not need any kernel-level third-party hacks to literally spend money on the Internet, and some company wants system-level access to my computer when I want to just have fun and do pew-pew? Lol, good luck with that
