I'm so confused why Bungie doesn't just flip the Linux switch on... they don't have to do anything else. Cheating can't be the problem, since most cheats are developed for Windows anyways... as for support, the Linux community is very self sufficient, look at all the games running on through proton out of the box

They're already struggling with cheaters as is, because battleye has never properly prevented things properly. Supporting another system that can potentially flood their backend with more stuff they can't handle properly isn't in their interests.

They claim to have grasped interest in what's happening but some 200k views and half as many active responses later, nothing had happened
