Plenty of video games that will not run on Linux simply because of stuff like anticheat. Like Apex Legends (ran fine for a while but got blocked again recently) and Valorant, just to name 2 I’m personally aware of that’s stopping some of my friends from going to Linux.
You can say that dual booting would fix that, and my bf actually does that, but that’s obviously not a workable solution to the vast majority of people.
As long as games like that won’t run on Linux it’s simply impossible for a lot of people to switch.
CoD, Fortnite, basically any major multiplayer games are case by case basis. While most of them have turned to microtransaction shit I thought others should know a few big names. Check out resources like Arewewanticheatyet and The protondb.
I can’t think of a single game, which is blocked by anticheat, that isn’t a microtransaction infected mess that uses FOMO to compel people to login daily.
I thought I’d miss those kernel anticheat games, but there are more good games than I have free time. So if some of those games disqualify themselves it doesn’t affect my fun. I have MANY high quality games to choose from even without the option to play Apex Legends.
