also why the fuck does Lego Fortnite require anticheat? it's a survival co-op, there's no competitive element, and yet from what I've read it still kicks you out when you're trying to play it on Linux.

Its to prevent piracy thats why and also to prevent modders from adding mods

What is HGL?

Is that like Fitgirl? Empress/Codex?

Heroic Games Launcher. Let's you download/manage/launch games from Epic, GoG, Amazon, etc. without having first-party launchers installed.
