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....

I feel like the 0.01% is either a mistake or an exaggeration? Isn't Linux something like 1-2% of the gamer base depending on how you measure it? Why would a Linux supported hard-core game be 100x less than that?

People who play games to cheat are the problem with the world. Born losers.

Peoples understanding of game development, especially competitive gaming, seem to be lacking with Linux users.

Probably because none of them are able to play them because of anti-cheat.

From the POV of most ppl here they should either spend a significant amount of money on server side anticheat and accept that lag will significantly increase or just allow Linux to play without anticheat because "there are so many cheaters why even bother"
