So AFAIK Rockstar could just enable BattlEye for Linux and we'd game GTA V in online mode.
The issue is the same for Apex and others. They consider it helps cheat makers because Linux is not closed enough to their taste. So they disable Linux machines entirely.

#DRIVE Rally is an impressive new racer that I can't wait to see more from

It's great. Like everyone else it reminded me of art of rally. The driving is different though, much more nervous and not contemplative like AoR. It has the same love for rally though. Love the graphics and the sound.
I highly recommend the cockpit view.

2 issues though :
* some cars (pick-up trucks) are so big they hide the road from the view, making them almost undrivable (in both cockpit view and third person).
* gamepad vibration gets broken sometimes (like it did on AoR)

It is also very easy to make a good time in championship mode but it doesn't matter much anyway.

Deadlock from Valve has an amusing new anti-cheat system turning cheaters into frogs

Quoting: hell0I'm wondering whether their cheat detection is server side. Some wording let me think it might be: "detection levels", "turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update".

I believe Valve would be the first big company to attempt it, and it could be huge if they do it properly.
VAC has always been server side and there are many other anticheat that are server side on some level
