    If the Anticheat system only works at Kernel level, then it would not work on Linux.

    The same kernel level anticheats used in Helldivers 2, which works on Linux, don’t work for other games simply because the developer of those games doesn’t spend the 15 minutes it would take to compile the Linux version of the anticheat.

    It being kernel level isn’t the thing stopping it working on Linux; some executive somewhere is.

      No? Helldivers 2 Anticheat system on Linux does not use Kernel level system. It runs at user level, and that’s the point. Nobody said it won’t work on Linux, the problem is that at user level, the Anticheat can easily be circumvented. At least at Kernel level this is massive harder to do and more complicated. I play myself Marvel Rivals and it has Anticheat on Linux too. Valve has a system too for their games such as Counter Strike. But these will never be as effective as one with Kernel level access.

      And as explained before, its not just about the Anticheat working on Linux, the game itself needs to work (well) too. You guys need to understand its not just a switch to flip or a command to build a Linux version. That’s not how game development is all about. There is more behind all of this.
