@MARVELTokon Any news on whether you plan to use Easy Anti-cheats's feature to support wine and proton so that Steamdeck and Linux users can access the game?

Amazed this is still an argument people are unembarassed to have, given that Clinton's fumbling of 2016 is part of the chain reaction that led us to the situation we are now in
Don’t buy this. They did a full demonstration and reveal the way it was because they thought it looked great. If it looked bad, they would’ve just waited to have the devs show off how good it could look. GenAI isn’t here to produce art. It’s tricking you into thinking it is.
