It doesn’t inspire confidence, but it looks like they have a game post-Rust that still works on Linux. Does Rust allow for self-hosted servers?

If he buys it, he will break the Linux compatibility guaranteed.

Im pretty sure you can, yea. But only if you disable the anticheat I believe - thats the part that breaks it.

It still sucks, but at least there’s a path to playing the game, so that bodes well for this game’s future even if Facepunch buys it.

My first thought too. But if he does not end up buying it, Linux support will be broken in a year anyway. Unless someone else steps in and continues.

Well yea, sure. He just has a bone to pick with Linux. It was a pretty good MMO, so it would be cool to see it continue so its worth the gamble.
