This is so funny because rust has one of the worst cheating situations and majority of their players are windows users, and theres lots of games that have anticheat that allows linux and have notably less significant cheating problems like marvel rivals. in reality rust doesn’t take cheating very seriously because if they did they would have more server side software that detects illegitimate behaviour like tons of other games do successfully… even most popular Minecraft servers have better functioning anti cheat that is completely server side than rust has while getting kernel access to your pc. its pathetic and lazy development tbh and this entire post from them reads like such extreme cope…

    Not only that, but the steam deck exists, the gabecube is coming, Linux gaming has been on the rise. The shit you did “several years ago” is irrelevant. If they allowed Proton, windows players with steam decks can now also play on the go. Instead they repeatedly have to poorly explain why they won’t… to stop basically 0 cheaters. I’d be willing to bet that the only people who actually stopped cheating in rust when Linux support was dropped did so because they lost interest anyway.

    I searched just to see, there’s a python script right on github that claims to have an aimbot, esp, wallhack, no recoil and several other features, along with “safety settings” so you don’t get caught. Does it work? I don’t know, but the codes right there to look at and there are dozens of other results in the search.
