Ubisoft have announced that their third-person hero-based melee fighting game FOR HONOR will be blocking all SteamOS / Linux players on September 10th.
Their announcement rubs me the wrong way. It reads as though Linux is the problem. They’re doing Linux “to ensure a safer environment” and to “reinforce a fair competitive environment”
Implying Linux is unsafe, unfair, and anticompetitive (i.e. promotes cheating).
They act as if any kernel level anti-cheat even stops a fraction of cheaters. Windows is just as unsafe and unfair in this regard. And it’s not like the already pretty small player base is majorily on Linux.
