      the ones I’ve tried yes, it depends on the developers, for example Fortnite is not supported on Linux because they deliberately made it incompatible.

          Also apex legends and Rust use it, EAC it’s not the reason.

            P1: “They are using malware anti-cheat that does not support Linux”

            P2: “No, they choose to not support Linux”

            Me: “Aren’t they use anti-cheat that do support Linux?”

            P2: “It’s not the reason”

          I don’t think it can be considered malware unless its doing something malicious that you don’t expect. I don’t want or need it on my system, but people who want to play these multiplayer games have a valid use-case and can make that decision themselves.

          Of course, you may have just intended to snarky and I’m just being tedious.

            It is literal rootkit, what do you mean nt a malware?

            but people who want to play these multiplayer games have a valid use-case and can make that decision themselves.

            They can’t in most of cases. For them it’s either installing or not playing.
