Complex and recent games run on Linux these days.
Not allowing run a game in Linux is, nowadays, a choice from its developer rather then a causality. Proton is a really powerful tool!
If a game don't run in Linux, via Proton or natively, that's dev issue that actively blocked Linux.
It is almost always due to the anticheat programs.
Still... There are anticheats that allow Linux, like EAC, Hyperion and many others... If they choose one that does not allow Linux, or choose one that allow Linux but block it, it's a dev issue
Virtually no anticheat worked on Linux just a few years ago except maybe Valve and Blizzard in-house solutions. Games that are out and already committed to a specific anticheat can't do much but to wait, so it is not really on them. Changing the anticheat solution mid-way on a released game would piss off so many people you can't imagine. On a brand new game though, I would agree that this should be considered.
EasyAntiCheat doesn’t have an excuse it’s essentially a switch.
Indeed. What sucks is that it is off by default, I figure most small-time devs simply need to be told it exists. I definitely wouldn't excuse the big players though, most AAA game companies can get fucked for all I care.
All the games o can't play on linux are exactly this Roblox and their anticheat blocking wine Tarkov and it's anticheat etc.
Even VR games with my quest 2 can run on linux just fine
Roblox is working on it there is unofficial way using grapejuice coming soon.
Roblox already updated the client to allow the AC to work on Wine. It works through grapejuice now.
Wait it's already up ?
Yes, it says so near the top of Grapejuice's readme. They also announced it in their discord server.
Oh nice to know.
yeah still waiting
It's already done
I have played roblox on grapefruit on popos what do you mean
Like when ? Due to roblox adding the new anticheat it blocks wine like others.
And dosent block explioters due to bypasses on windows an example of this bypass is the ms store version
I think like a year ago, and people also talked about anticheat blocking wine on roblox back then
What? I thought Steam VR wasn't working, I'v checked recently. How did you get it working?

Steam VR works fine, but you need a headset that supports Steam VR without needing other software. The main options are the HTC Vive and the Valve Index.
You can actually use headsets like a Quest 2, Pico 4 or Lynx R1, both wireless and through a wire. Check out ALVR, it works reasonably well!
Good point! I was aware of ALVR, specifically that it supported the Quest, but I wasn't sure how stable it was. I didn't know it supported those other headsets, that's cool!
