First off, please no. Second off, I’m curious to how they plan to lock it down like they did on Windows. On Windows they own the OS, so wacky folders that you can’t touch even with the highest admin rights isn’t a stretch, but good luck with that on Linux.
It’s an unofficial project. Not by Microsoft. They won’t lock down anything.
I have a few games that are trapped in the windows store, wouldn’t be a bad thing, especially since this is the heroic team doing this, not Microsoft.

They third party authenticate thru the Xbox app and “gaming services”. (The issue here, is even for games bought in Steam or other launchers, if it’s a Microsoft game, it needs this. So the concern is this isn’t optional for Linux, it’ll be a requirement to run any Microsoft game)
If/when there’s an issue, you can’t really do anything, and Microsoft support is just chatbots.
Even something as simple as a “repair” or reinstall. Depending on where the process broke, it could be a huge headache manipulating the two into a state they can be repaired.
It’s bad enough I’m not buying any Microsoft games, even tho I resolved my own issues, it could just happen again at any time. And I just don’t want to deal with the potential hassle.
If they ever release a new fallout/ES, I’ll take the time to see if it’s still an issue.
I think it’s more about gaining access to your telemetry data. All that unsold info is starting hurt profits.
