How about Valorant? Its basically the only game (+ rainbow six siege / PUBG potentially, idk if these work) blocking me from switching. I know all my other games will work without issue cause they run on my steam deck as well.
EA’s fancy new kernel level anti-cheat is plaguing battlefield games. Also Rockstar broke GTA:O with their Anti-cheat (even though the Anti-cheat they use supports Linux)
The issue is that the Linux playerbase is so small, but its a self fulfilling prophecy. Players don’t play on Linux cause of the issues and the issues are there cause there are not enough players on Linux.
This simply isn’t true. Fragpunk, a brand new title, works without a single modification on Linux. It takes a negligible amount of effort for the developers, often just a single toggle in the anticheat config.

Depends on the anti-cheat bud
Which, again, basically all Anti-Cheat works on Linux
The example given, GTA, uses BattlEye, which according to someone who knows more about using it than me is literally a checkbox for Linux support
Anti-Cheat not working on Linux is the developers/publishers being assholes almost exclusively
Yes it is and I fully agree with you, but it is *still *the reason I’m not switching
