not new breakage since 19.0 (gamers seem to be very vocal about their use
case ;-)

Off-topic, but replying to Ken's comment:
That's not surprising. There's a new program available called Proton that
emulates the Windows API directly, and then translates it to calls to
Linux OpenGL libraries. It's got a 99% compatibility rate, with most
Windows Games on services like Steam and GOG functioning perfectly on
Linux, as well as stuff from Blizzard. A majority of gamers were tied to
Windows, even with their data-mining practices, and now they are able to
go to Linux without problems.
Same applies to Microsoft Office and Visual Studio actually (it's even
used upstream as a support GitLab/GitHub CI configuration), I'm just too
lazy to create a Multilib system just to get away from having to use
Windows for Office and Visual Studio.
[https://www.protondb.com/] - a majority of those reports are because of
Proton.
