I really want to like this game. When I have played it, it's a fun hero shooter with a variety of characters and movesets and interesting maps. However, this game employs Easy Anti Cheat and that prevents it from working on Linux or the Steam Deck. I tried it out with some friends during the whole Blizzard/Hong Kong protests debacle as a way to avoid Overwatch and generally enjoyed it, but these days I'm back on Overwatch which (despite now being owned by Microsoft) works perfectly on Linux and Steam Deck. As someone trying to get away from the anti-user changes Microsoft is making to Windows, that means the only viable route to play this game is to go to a console platform and suffer from the lack of graphical fidelity and framerate that those platforms are limited by.

Please, please turn on Linux support for EAC in this game. There's no reason not to and you're cutting out a growing playerbase who want to leave the Microsoft/Windows ecosystem. The support window for Windows 10 is closing and a lot of us do not want to deal with Windows 11.
