To be clear, at this point BattleEye requires no effort from the devs to get working on Linux. On the contrary, the EFT devs have gone out of their way to ensure it does not run on Linux, and have deleted forum posts requesting a change in this policy.
The EFT devs have their heads very far up their asses when it comes to Linux. They specifically banned the platform and have deleted forum posts about the topic. Fuck em, there are better games in the genre by this point (Hunt Showdown runs great on Linux for example…)
Have you tried recently? We’ve been pretty much at parity for years now. Almost every game that doesn’t run is because the devs are choosing to make it that way.
The problem is that too many execs are thinking like this guy. It’s not actually tenable to replace programmers with AI, but people who aren’t programmers are less likely to understand that.
