What's the matter with Insurgency?
I started it up, it's native... what is not working?
They may be referring to sandstorm which currently does not due to EAC

Quoting: SamsaiDifferent argument, production and consumption operate under different rules entirely. For a cheat to be popular, all you need is that 1% to make a few and a distribution method to get them in the hands of would-be cheaters.
Which is what happens on all platforms!

Quoting: SamsaiMy argument on Android side is that there isn't an easy distribution method
Oh come on, just about everyone knows it takes seconds to look for an apk and install it for andriod. And lets be honest, a cheater is going to know how to do basic things on any platform and there is no need for custom roms to be used. On IOS I would agree with your point.

Quoting: Lancabanwith everything saifd about the Linux kernel and different versions and hackabiltiy etc. yet it plays on Android, even on 3rd party Roms and Kernels just fine.

Would that not have the same exact issues and from a significantly larger player base than desktop Linux users?

Right now I can take my phone, root it, throw on a different Rom, and even use a different customized kernel, and still play Fortnite. This has been done, proven, viewed, tested, and seems to be OK.
Theoretically yes. I think the overriding issues are that Android is a market big enough to take the risk and generally speaking tech illiterate enough that the likelihood of someone installing a custom ROM to cheat in Fortnite is so unlikely, that it doesn't register as a realistic risk.
Think you've just shot your own argument in the foot there.

It's a given than 99% of cheaters have no clue on how to write a cheat let alone a kernel driver on windows, Which also would be true for Linux side or the deck.

So the entire premise fails as a result of that theory.

The simple fat is that he has no intention of allowing fortnite on the deck. Am sure if the deck had been produced by say Samsung it wouldn't have been an issue.
