Linux Gaming: Anti-Cheats question

My Password Is 1234@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 54 points –

There are games that we cannot play on Linux because of anticheat, which detects wine/proton translation.

How do I tell the company that produces this game that I am interested in playing it on Linux?

The company behind the game I am interested in does not allow any e-mail contact. The only way to contact them is the ticket system. I sent a ticket that I'd like to play it on Linux, but got only a generic response to follow up on news etc.

Maybe if we flooded them with such tickets, they would finally see that it might be worth considering?

What do you think about it?

Since they wish to maintain a cheat free environment, perhaps they should stand up a server only for Linux users where the anti-cheat is not required. This way they can serve the Linux community. Players who want to play under Linux will be informed that they play without the benefit of the anti-cheat?

yeah it's a cool solution, but I think that the servers won't be populated much and the matchmaking time will be like 10-15 minutes.

That would be very cool actually. And hell, while they are at it, give us the tools to host the servers on our own and moderate them. IMO this would solve some issues
