using existing Linux features including signed kernel, signed kernel modules, and secure boot with attestation
Hell no, fuck that. Last time I tried secure boot it broke everything. I take my freedom to run my system the way I want and if you don't like that then I'll keep my money and spend it on other games instead.
Who the fuck is going to play Fortnite on Linux?
Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher
Is it april fools day?
upgraded Easy Anti-Cheat
It's been expelled to the fires of Hell where it belongs?
Way to bury the lede: it's "vibe coded". 🤢
2 weeks later: "Epic Games is filing for bankruptcy after blowing all its cash on vibe coding and a marketing campaign for its new launcher"
Lol they are going hard on social media comparing how they are faster than Steam, but the new launcher they are boasting about doesn't even have feature parity with their own old launcher never mind feature parity with Steam.
Even though I don't use Epic Games/play games with anticheat, I'm pretty excited about this. If Fortnite finds success with an anticheat on Linux, there's a good chance that other major players will follow suit. The #1 reason to not switch to Linux I have seen from gamers is that they can't play multiplayer games that require anticheat, and a ton of them use Fortnite as an example.
