This is so funny because rust has one of the worst cheating situations and majority of their players are windows users, and theres lots of games that have anticheat that allows linux and have notably less significant cheating problems like marvel rivals. in reality rust doesn't take cheating very seriously because if they did they would have more server side software that detects illegitimate behaviour like tons of other games do successfully...... even most popular Minecraft servers have better functioning anti cheat that is completely server side than rust has while getting kernel access to your pc. its pathetic and lazy development tbh and this entire post from them reads like such extreme cope....

So Linux users were 0.01% - one in 10,000 players - and also the main cheating problem?

Some odd math there.

No, he said he saw more cheat users using Linux than legitimate users using Linux. He also said Linux is another vector to cheats, not that its the main one.

He said he saw more cheaters than legitimate players on Linux after they stopped support. I mean, no shit?

[–] stephen01king@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago

He said when they stopped. That could mean at the moment of the stop or starting from the point they stopped the support. Both are a possibility, yet only one makes more sense than the other.
