I must admit - I am thoroughly shocked that not only are they doing it, but they’re actually going all the way to get their main game of Fortnite with upgraded Easy Anti-Cheat running on Linux too. Although, they’re going all-in with AI, and even mentioned the new app has been “vibe coded”.
I mean it’s Linux gaming support even if it is Epic but that AI comment, yeah…
Even though I don’t use Epic Games/play games with anticheat, I’m pretty excited about this. If Fortnite finds success with an anticheat on Linux, there’s a good chance that other major players will follow suit. The #1 reason to not switch to Linux I have seen from gamers is that they can’t play multiplayer games that require anticheat, and a ton of them use Fortnite as an example.
No, that’s a fucking problem. Proliferation of intrusive anticheat on any OS is a bad thing.
Then let them suffer with Microslop until they get some self respect
