  My first thought too. But if he does not end up buying it, Linux support will be broken in a year anyway. Unless someone else steps in and continues.

    Well yea, sure. He just has a bone to pick with Linux. It was a pretty good MMO, so it would be cool to see it continue so its worth the gamble.

  It doesn’t inspire confidence, but it looks like they have a game post-Rust that still works on Linux. Does Rust allow for self-hosted servers?

    Im pretty sure you can, yea. But only if you disable the anticheat I believe - thats the part that breaks it.

      It still sucks, but at least there’s a path to playing the game, so that bodes well for this game’s future even if Facepunch buys it.

        Its a massive pain in the ass to make it work, not to mention the game runs like ass atleast on Bazzite.
