EAC is one of the most popular anticheats and it has a Linux version. The hardest thing developers need to do is decide to allow Linux, the actual implementation takes less time than a coffee break.
What you’re saying literally isn’t true. For example you can play The Finals on Linux and that’s a multiplayer only game.
So the reason why Linux players can’t play is because the anti-cheat hooks into the kernel of the OS. And the anti-cheat is made for the Windows kernel. It is entirely possible for them to make one that is compatible with Linux but they won’t. Besides, hooking into the kernel does not offer complete protection against cheats.
So hooking into the kernel is unwarranted given that the anti-cheat software is potentially able to transmit malware and observe everything on your computer since it has direct access to the kernel, even though cheating is still possible.
This game is going to be monetised to high heavens.
It’ll be unplayable. GTA Online as it is, is barely enjoyable and mostly unplayable.
It’s actually completely unplayable for Linux users because of the new anti cheat.
that is true for every single multiplayer game. they will not bother to make anti-cheat for Linux

Not exactly, I play Halo MCC online, Dead by Daylight, Splitgate, etc. Lots of multiplayer games work fine for me. I use EOS btw
Even worse, there’s no worthy benefit for kernel anti-cheat. Linux players are being excluded for reasons that have no purpose for players.
I don’t know what these two sentences mean

A lot of the popular FiveM servers are pretty good imo.
