so I am sure the cost of supporting Linux users was not worth it.

What's so fucking annoying about these DRM issues is that basically all of the AntiCheat and DRM we have WORK ON LINUX IF YOU ENABLE ONE FUCKING SETTING

Easy AntiCheat for example is quite literally a checkbox at some point of compiling or whatever, I've seen someone do it!

Shows you how little they value Linux games

It never is just a checkbox though. You have to test the result and with Linux you have to test dozens of distros. For a fraction of users. If Linux crowd wants to be taken seriously, they should settle on a single distro for everything.
