The tactical FPS 'Due Process' anti-cheat now supports Linux - plus it has a huge discount
24 Feb 2025 at 4:25 pm UTC

Too late imo, game's long been dead.

Seems like it very recently got a big-bump because of the crazy discount, but I think they should've made it F2P like a year ago.
It seems like the sale is helping though, at least temporarily. Player count is up to 550 600 at this moment, which is over 1/3rd of its all-time peak of 1,608 in January 2021.

why does a purely PvE game with no player-to-player economy need anti-cheat at all??
Leaderboard rankings and achievements are often the excuses used.

Blocking Linux / Steam Deck in Apex Legends led to a 'meaningful reduction' in cheaters

Unless Linux players accounted for more than a single digit percentage of their total playerbase, I find it impossible to consider it a "meaningful reduction". Let's assume 1-in-5 Linux players were cheating, if we had 10% of the total playerbase that's only a reduction of 2% of players total. But as scaine mentioned they're down from 450k to 130k daily average, far greater than 2%.

I can only find articles relating to a tournament hack from last March, well before they blocked Linux.

10% in shares can hold a lot of influence and can push for seats on the board of directors. Don't underestimate the number.
