Sure, but from the end user perspective, it doesn’t matter whose fault it is - the result is you can’t play a game you otherwise just can in Windows. We know it’s their fault.
If you never play any games with anticheat that’s fine, but all it takes is one game, and then later another, and then later another, to make Linux a dealbreaker for many gamers. These are not unpopular games.
It can be the whole difference between someone sticking with Windows but itching to make the switch, and someone actually making the switch.
What good is 90% of games working if you have 3 games that you really want to play that don’t work?

Had a quick look into this, this is the best related info I could find on the situation with Rust.

But what percentage of games that use anticheat?
- Comment on Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown - Demo Out Now! 3 weeks ago:
Really enjoyed this demo.
Some people didn’t like that there was no voice acting, and apparently the devs said on discord that there will be voice acting added later (albeit not the Voyager actors). No voice acting didn’t bother me, but clearly it bothered some people.
The one real weak point of the game is the combat, which was very average - but it has an auto-resolve button to just skip it on a dice roll with the modifiers you use (like which crew you use in the battle).
- Comment on Steam Next Fest is back for October 2025. What good demos have you found? 3 weeks ago:
I feel like demos have become longer recently than they used to be. It used to be that you could only get through the equivalent of a level or two, now it’s more like they last up to 2 hours - the same period you might play and steam refund a game to demo it that way.
Seems like a very healthy development in gaming.

There is hilarious dialog about this in the game’s demo.
- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 1 month ago:
Nobody likes that anti-cheat is intrusive, most people just understand that it’s a necessary evil to not have cheaters in their games.
Each to their own obviously, if you don’t want install the anticheat to play the game, it’s a moot point.
- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 1 month ago:
I do primarily play games, but it only takes one program to not work for the whole OS to be a failure for that use case.
And then over time, another program, then another program. It either all works or none of it does.

What is this I’m hearing about people not liking the musical episode in season 2. Is this a joke? One comment even said the songs weren’t memorable.
How could anyone not love Christina Chong singing How Would That Feel or Jess Bush singing I’m Ready? They’re frikkin phenomenal.
