Quoting: x_wingIt will work with old well known cheats but will probably fail to detect new ones during the pause. Which means that they create a big backdoor for any MMO that have multiplatform support and a big problem for the devs and community if the cheaters start abusing of any new security breach. In the end this gives the devs of Facepunch yet another excuse to end with Linux support builds.

Pausing the development of an AC won't be innocuous to our platform.

i'm 100% with you and i'll be the last one defending any anticonsumer practice by Epic. But while bad for everyone, it is still possible to pause one platform. I really hope it's just a small break of a few weeks as someone suggested though...

Quoting: Kimyrielle"Pausing" to work on such a piece of software is a funny concept overall. How do you "pause" supporting Anti Cheat software? This isn't a MMO where you can stop releasing new features for half a year and nothing bad will happen other than users getting bored. Anti-Cheat software is really a binary thing: It either works as intended, or does not. There is no in-between. Clients using this software HAVE to rely on it working correctly at any time. You can't hand them an anti cheat tool that stops the game from working on the platform its supposed to run on, nor can you tell them that it will catch only 50% of the known cheats because development is "paused".

It makes...no sense to me.

well, no.
No Anticheat will ever be 100% bulletproof. And pausing may mean just no new features/updated cheat-definitions and no fixing of bugs - but it will still work as it does at the time.
I don't know how you can live in the illusion that ANY anticheat can prevent ALL cheats 100% ^^

Lets hope that those words are worth a penny and not written by bullshit-sweeny ^^

And i don't think you should feel bad for "jumping the gun" - if nothing else, the outcry should show EAC and others that dropping Linux-Support will not go unnoticed...

Well, i know which company would be out of the picture if i ever have anything to say in any software development ^^

The official statement is obviously just a PR-Stunt to minimize the shitstorm...

The question others asked - what this offers over mumble - is a good one though

Cudos to the Lutirs-Team and GL in grabbing all the money they can from Epic.
But i deeply hope, that no one will consider supporting this company/store, that is trying to establish forced exclusives in the PC market and make everything worse for the customers...

Would be nice if this lead to disabling the annoying geoblock for us germans (not regarding price but censorship)

I really don't get why not more people are buying there. Especially when most of the games include a steam-key, so missing features of the client don't really count...i ALWAYS look if a game is availiabe on itch...

Quoting: legluondunetFor Gog users, Lutris is now the "Gog Galaxy" client for Linux, just click install, for a Windows or Linux native game, and play. Lutris scripts system are very powerful to do more than just install a game: you can even install patch, write config file, download and install third party components, activate DXVK or override DLL... A must to have for Linux gamers.

i Like the Idea of it, but if i Import one of my GoG-Games, nothing happens...or am i missing something? ^^
For the rest of Lutris, you are absolutely right, it really set a new level of convenience to using wine.
Installed WoW again for the free Weekend - and it now really is less of a hazzle than on windows, as you don't have to go to the website anymore to download the client xD
