Quoting: Cyba.CowboyThat's NEVER gonna happen - Tim Sweeny is openly anti-Linux, and he's quite vocal about it, too. If you're really keen, you can play it on your Stream Deck via Remote Play... It takes a bit of mucking around to get the settings just right, so gameplay is smooth; but it works.

I wouldn't be that cynical about it, it's always possible especially as Linux continues to grow. But unlikely? Definitely

Have you ever read Tim Sweeny's comments about Linux? The man almost-certainly has more love for Hitler than he does for Linux.

ok let's be so fr here he wasn't advocating for all linux users to be flayed in the town square he just sucks up to Microsoft way too much. the fact Unreal 5 natively compiles for Linux at all when it released during an era of decreasing Linux ports and increasing reliance on Proton shows he isn't pulling out all the stops to actively sabotage Linux adoption, he's just really slow and wants Microsoft to buy out his failed company.

Sweeney notes how this round of layoffs is not related to AI noting that "Since it's a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren't related to AI

Well, no, that wouldn't make sense. They wouldn't use anti-cheat on the server builds because that's their servers, this is all to do with the client-side stuff.

nah, netflix issue is more likely DRM related than anything, i doubt it will help.

For Linux / SteamOS fans, going by ProtonDB the early reports there are nice and positive too with multiple reports on it working great out of the box with Proton.
