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

    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.

    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?

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

  Best hope we have are community servers.

    As an MMO, would that make it the first of its kind?

      Absolutely not, there’s lots of MMOs that have custom servers.
