Yeah, but it is a PITA to setup a MacOS VM. Even if you get it working, it will probably be unsupported in a year or 2 because of Apple Silicon. All that effort just to play league lmao
It’s more competitive ones. And yes, I know they come with that shit too but not all FOMO games are pvp games and Linux has plenty of working multiplayer games with that shit.
Frankly the only game I haven’t been able to play (besides a couple of old MMO private servers I couldn’t get running) has been Fortnite, and there’s frankly no reason it shouldn’t run on Linux already, Epic just sucks
It doesn’t run because Tim Sweeny is a salty jerk who had one negative interaction with a Linux user (the Linux user just posted a rice and he was pissed he couldn’t do that on Windows)

I’m honestly at a loss as to why they are so popular. I barely remember the last time I enjoyed a AAA game. The only notable exceptions would probably be Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dishonored, which both work. Personally I haven’t run into any games that wouldn’t work and as much as I’d love to dismiss those (fucking atrocious) games, I get your point about it preventing popular adoption. Sadly it’s not something Linux can easily fix, as long as companies insist on using windows specific versions of anti cheat software (despite Linux versions of the same stuff existing) just so they can have kernel access to your machine.
Lots of people really enjoy competitive games. Competitive multi-player games attract the most cheaters, resulting in the strictest anti-cheat measures (which still barely work, honestly).
“The most popular ones” are also often the most controversial, scammiest and shittiest tho. And if a game does not run because chinese fuckers can’t rootkit my PC, I don’t want to play it anyway.
At the same time the small amount of games that don’t support Linux also happen to be some of the biggest and most popular ones.
Good même but you can very much run lol on Linux. It’s weird around the edges especially in the launcher but it’s definitely playable.
Didn’t they transition it to the same kernel-level antichest that Valorant uses? IIRC, that anticheat absolutely refuses to let you run it on Linux.
AFAIK there is a work around to run MacOS in a VM and run the Mac client which doesn’t have kernel anti cheat, but meh, why bother?

Couldn’t you just run windows in a vm at that point?
They switched the ac to use the vanguard kernel level ac so the workaround doesn’t work anymore.
As far as I can tell without direct intervention through anti-cheats or other means you can run anything on linux.
Joke’s on you, I play Dota.
🤮
Good thing I don’t play mtx/fomo games.

Tbh neither do I, Debian runs all the games I personally want. My point is its not for everyone.
Oh noes, my lootboxes!
Minecraft? CS2? Dota 2?

Yeah, he’s a shithead. “We just don’t have enough developers” my ass
Linux users: please release your software on Linux
Tim Sweeny: we don’t have enough developers
The over 800 employees Tim Sweeny fired:

It wasn’t even a rice, just panel on the left side.
