    The number continues to grow, but growth seems to be slowing.

      But what percentage of games that use anticheat?

          The rust entry is kinda wrong. Linux friendly community servers do run they just need more active players to be fun

              Had a quick look into this, this is the best related info I could find on the situation with Rust.

                  As a former RUST addict, I can tell you that Facepunch didn’t really know what they were doing initially with the game on Linux (although they gave an honest try).

                  Later, they basically said, “Look, we don’t really have the knowledge to support this, so you can ask for a refund if you exclusively bought the game to play on Linux, and if you are using Proton/Wine/etc, you can play on non-EAC community servers” (since official servers use Linux incompatible EAC). They aren’t hostile to the Linux community, but Gary and the team feel like they aren’t up to the task, so they don’t officially support things anymore.

            Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

            Rules

            1. Submissions have to be related to games

            Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

            This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

            2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

            No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

            We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

            3. No excessive self-promotion

            Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

            This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

            4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

            This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.

            We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

            5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

            Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

            No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

            6. No linking to piracy

            Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

            We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
