Wasn't Tim Sweeney one of the smarmy fucks saying that Linux is a blatant cheating avenue and he had no interest in supporting it?

Oh now you come crawling to Linux! Fuck off Tim!

Now if only you could make a game I'd want to install...

In fact, Epic’s Easy Anti-Cheat already supports Linux in some capacity, and the company may simply be looking to improve its existing technology for developers.

Exactly...

"You must be truly desperate if you have come for my help."

I hope that whoever takes this job does the following: develop a netcode library with server-side cheat detection that can be used by any game, so developers have something pre-baked that they can use to stop them whining about needing client-side kernel level spyware to prevent cheating.

I specifically hope that they don't do this, and let someone like Valve do it, because if someone at Epic cracks the code on an anti cheat that's both reliable enough to sell to investors and that doesn't require kernel-level access, they're gonna red-tape the fuck out of it and only use it on their games / offer it to devs for exclusivity contracts.
