This also applies to Valorant. I know a lot of people look down on both games, but it’s still unfortunate for Linux to lose access to such a popular game.

I thought this part was particularly interesting:

Half of anti-cheat is making sure the environment hasn’t been tampered with, and this is extremely hard on Linux by design. Any backdoors we leave open for it are ones [cheat] developers will immediately leverage for cheats

    Yeah, but Apple isn’t allowing it (at least according to the comment you replied to), so if Riot continues to allow their games to run on Mac without kernel anti-cheat, then their whole argument against Linux support is moot.

      Nothing in the comment I replied to indicated that apple wasn’t allowing kernel-level anti cheat. It just says their apple client doesn’t have it.

          Ah, I didn’t go back far enough. Yeah, that’s fair then. In fact, I wonder how possible it is to just run the mac build on linux.
