    EA’s fancy new kernel level anti-cheat is plaguing battlefield games. Also Rockstar broke GTA:O with their Anti-cheat (even though the Anti-cheat they use supports Linux)

      The issue is that the Linux playerbase is so small, but its a self fulfilling prophecy. Players don’t play on Linux cause of the issues and the issues are there cause there are not enough players on Linux.

        This simply isn’t true. Fragpunk, a brand new title, works without a single modification on Linux. It takes a negligible amount of effort for the developers, often just a single toggle in the anticheat config.

            Which, again, basically all Anti-Cheat works on Linux

            The example given, GTA, uses BattlEye, which according to someone who knows more about using it than me is literally a checkbox for Linux support

            Anti-Cheat not working on Linux is the developers/publishers being assholes almost exclusively

              Yes it is and I fully agree with you, but it is *still *the reason I’m not switching
