Recently a game called "The Finals" has released and after their beta was over they stopped supporting Linux, and a lot of people are clearly pissed and have sparked a ton of debates within their Discord server but I constantly and constantly see an argument brought up by Windows users in the community saying that they dont want Linux support and argue that enabling Linux support is only going to add more cheaters into the game. (as its a pretty big problem right now even though they're using EAC.)

I don't believe it, I haven't seen any proof of it, but I wanted to ask you guys what your thoughts are on it. And, if you have some sort of source proving whether or not this is the case, please do share.

Sounds like idiots just regurgitating the same tired old bullshit lies that they've seen before like some kind of fucked up snapple cap.

I'd say windows is a much bigger cheat issue, not because of some weird platform superiority, but because cheat makers focus on windows and any dumb dipshit with a credit card can buy one.
