Anti-cheat incompatibility on Linux is unacceptable from game developers and publishers — and Rocket League just proved why (www.techradar.com)

You know i remember when RL cost money to purchase the game.

It was was easier anticheat, cause if you cheated you got banned and had to pay money to get a new account.

Cheats only recently became a problem that can be solved in other ways.

bring back private servers as the norm again.

I'm showing my age but the days of private Quake 3, UT, BF, etc servers were great. sure cheating still existed but there were SO many servers with mods that actually maintained said servers you could easily swap servers or find ones to favourite where cheating just didn't happen because the ban hammer was swift and immediate. I loved playing on 24/7 2fort servers for like TFC or Q3A and you could play for hours on end without encountering a single cheater.

I play with adults, so I appreciate it when you can turn off anti cheat (to not waste the cycles it costs) in a group you trust. When I was running a server for thirteen year olds in the early 2000s, good anti cheat would have been nice

I remember playing on CS 1.6 servers where mods thought I was cheating...not fun getting constantly banned by salty mods cuz they're scrubs

The game certainly took a hit when it went f2p.
