That’s true. My machine doesn’t have a TPM. I understand they are trying to make things easier for their team, but I agree I’d rather have wider support.
Counter-counterpoint: Linux users are no users if a game is brimming with cheaters. Who the fuck plays a competitive multiplayer game full of cheaters only because it runs on Linux?
If we had private dedicated servers and the ability to play without anti-cheat, Linux support would be a non-issue. But because we don’t have that, anti-cheat is seen as a necessity, and we don’t have Linux support.
Counterpoint: you could not have TPM and secure boot requirements that needlessly alienates a large player base of Linux users.
I don’t understand this point.
Linux does support TPM and secure boot: https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot#What_is_UEFI_Secure_Boot.3F
I thought the problem for Linux players was “just” the kernel anticheat ?

Every game has cheaters. If we could run our own servers, we could decide who we play with.
So you’re not asking for Linux support, but custom dedicated server support?
