Ubisoft have introduced that their third-person hero-based melee preventing sport FOR HONOR might be blocking all SteamOS / Linux gamers on September tenth.
The sport makes use of Simple Anti-Cheat which is at the moment enabled for Linux, however they plan to disable it – making it one other sport that may not be playable throughout Linux Desktop, Steam Deck and Steam Machine.
In an announcement on the official website they stated:
“To strengthen a good aggressive surroundings, the workforce is introducing further participant security measures. We’re eradicating For Honor from the Linux platform to make sure a safer surroundings for our gamers as we can’t meaningfully deploy safety on this platform. Which means For Honor will not be playable on Steam Deck beginning September tenth. We are going to proceed to analyze alternative ways to enhance our anti-cheat with the potential for reopening the platform sooner or later.”
An actual disgrace – any sport that deliberately blocks Linux is a loss for the platform. We have seen the identical prior to now with the likes of the Battlefield collection, Apex Legends, GTA V and extra listed on our anti-cheat page.
Hopefully Linux will proceed pulling in additional avid gamers and develop, in order that these greater publishers will in the future be unable to only block Linux. Or maybe Valve will be capable to do one thing about it so publishers have some sort of system that they really feel is sweet sufficient to safe their video games from cheaters.
