The openness of the Linux operating systems makes it an attractive one for cheaters and cheat developers. Linux cheats are indeed harder to detect and the data shows that they are growing at a rate that requires an outsized level of focus and attention from the team for a relatively small platform.
So like, they put Easy Anti-cheat in the game and had it enabled for Linux, but its not good enough to actually function as an anti-cheat on linux? At least it can't function well enough without failing a cost-benefit analysis?
Side note: i never realized that Epic Games makes Easy Anti-Cheat
... now i legit have no clue if my 7800xt has been spinning up this whole time or just when i checked it
