If I need spyware to ensure I’m playing a game right, that’s a game I don’t need.
If the game Rust is what is keeping you away from being on Linux it might be best you never go to Linux. Just save us all the future headache, thanks.
I mean if you run on an operating system, you’re not really serious about anti cheat. You should require all of your players to buy your own hardware that is sealed in a titanium box. They should have to give a blood sample before each session, and they should have to be completely surrounded by webcams the entire time. Better yet, have them report to their nearest prison’s solitary confinement wing for a 100% monitored play session.
Let’s get actually serious about anti cheat.
The last “serious about anticheat” game was hacked on release day. On Windows. With kernel-level AC.
Fuck off with your lies.
… Rust still exists? As in, the murder-hobo-survival game that was early access like, 10-15 years ago?
It’s been polished a lot since then (they update every month), but yeah, it’s still around and it’s fun. Sucks that Alistair has this take tho.
I thought they were talking about the programming language.
It is very different from the Early Access times. At some point they have rebuilt the whole game from ground up. Still is a murder-hobo-survival but is much more fun, nicer looking, better optimized and higher-skill-based game.
That is still absolutely loaded to the gills with cheaters. DNSL has a whole series of videos where he trolls people on the server using cheats. 😂
I hear hackers run rampant in Rust.
Are they trying to say Valve isn’t serious about anti-cheat?
This is the funny part: they run rampant on official servers. The community hosted ones with independent admins and moderators have much cleaner playing fields lol, and they can turn off the kernel level EAC
If you can’t play a specific game on linux due to anti-cheat and you still have to encounter cheaters on windows - is this a linux problem somehow?
15 years ago, any developer who wanted to install low-level malware on your system would have been rightfully laughed out of the room.
It really shows how tech illiterate the modern user is.
Dude should ask Linux players how they can actually play games with EAC and Battleye if that box is turned on, then they’ll realize that none of the cheaters use Linux (if any at all). Most, if not all of them, use Windows with specialized scripts.
The headline confused me for a second. I was like, aren’t they adding more and more rust to the kernel?
Same, I had to double check the article lol. Rust next to the word developer was a sort of short-sighted phrasing.
RUST is a game, Rust is the programming thing. Maybe we need to normalize that in posting articles lol
Arc Raiders was just deck verified
I’ll buy it for Linux now.
Since rust, the game, was launched one year after rust, the language, can we get the rust foundation to sue them for shits and giggles?
And nothing of value was lost.
We have Rust at home.
There are so many alternatives to these sort of games now. I am not sure it’s a good idea to just give your players the middle finger like that.
Every single one of them is also better than Rust. Ark, Conan Exiles, that new Dune game, Palworld…
Ok, I wasn’t gonna play that anyway, I prefer games that don’t incentivize cheating.
