This game has recently come to my attention and it seems to work fine on Linux for now. But apparently the developers have decided to switch from their current anti-cheat (Easy Anti-cheat) to Faceit in the future, which would make it impossible to play on official servers on Linux.

Am I missing something here? I was interested in buying the game, but if they are going to basically disable Linux support in the future, it seems like a bad idea.

Edit: This article is quite helpful. Apparently the developers arent entirely sure about FACEIT either. So we will have to wait and see.

Worth reaching out to them they are very responsive to the community but there are only 3 of them at current so the might just be looking to make things easy for themselves.

Might do that, fair point. Thanks!

That's the real reason I think Linux support might fall by the wayside. Likely this anticheat was easier for them to implement with their small team.
