This is so funny because rust has one of the worst cheating situations and majority of their players are windows users, and theres lots of games that have anticheat that allows linux and have notably less significant cheating problems like marvel rivals. in reality rust doesn’t take cheating very seriously because if they did they would have more server side software that detects illegitimate behaviour like tons of other games do successfully… even most popular Minecraft servers have better functioning anti cheat that is completely server side than rust has while getting kernel access to your pc. its pathetic and lazy development tbh and this entire post from them reads like such extreme cope…

    I feel like the 0.01% is either a mistake or an exaggeration? Isn’t Linux something like 1-2% of the gamer base depending on how you measure it? Why would a Linux supported hard-core game be 100x less than that?

      No 0.01% was quite possibly the actual number at the time. What he didn’t tell is that by the time they stopped the Linux port it was in an abysmal state after months or years of neglect. Poor performance at best, up to outright not working, depending on your hardware.
