Anti-cheat is always malware (or at best it’s DRM), that sometimes reduces cheating in games.
I see trash like Fortnite not being available on Linux as an absolute win.
Why are they specifically against Linux?
The market isn’t big enough to warrant supporting a launcher + game on it
Windows ARM is just Windows and as laptops continue to drop x86 it’s worth migrating as well
Also it ensures their engine can support ARM meanwhile it already supports Linux
We know it’s not anticheat because the first thing Epic did when they bought Easy was give it Linux support
There are so many variations/forks/distros of Linux that it is basically impossible to control the gameplay experience (prevent cheating) in a way that Epic want to. At least that’s what they say.
Timmy has a personal hatred for Linux for some reason. He keeps shitting on it on Twitter.
Fuck that guy. UT2k4 shipped with a Linux installer that never showed up on steam/gog before they delisted it.
They afraid linux hackers will nuke their game the second they allow them play.
