Dammit, EAC may be an issue on Linux though. It’s kinda hit or miss whether a given developer will take the extra steps, particularly given the conflicting sources on just how complex it actually is. According to Valve, it’s a checkbox and dropping a file in your depot. Others claim it would require an Epic Online Services version of EAC, with all the baggage that carries, including potentially rewriting a whole chunk of your code.
I had read they have confirmed the game will be coming to steam deck shortly after, so I assume this will be working on Linux day one.
I play on Linux and enjoy Warhammer so will be purchasing this game with that assumption.
