To start, I am a retired player. I played on PC from Forsaken, to Heresy. I have 5,115 hours tracked on Steam. I was dwindling interest in the game starting around the end of Final Shape, maybe even earlier, but the point is, my time playing the game consistently had long ended, and I stopped playing back then. In October 2025, with the EoL of Windows 10 Security support, I switched to Linux (now on Fedora 44) and I wasn't worried about playing any of my games I enjoy, since all of them have Linux support through Proton, and the games that do have anti-cheat like Battleye, EAC, and GameGuard all have support enabled for the ones I have been playing, except for my retired Destiny 2. The current methods available to me to come back to play are: 1. Swap computers [u]just to play Destiny 2[/u], which is a hassle, and it would be much slower than when I play games on Linux 2. Pay a game streaming service, to, again, [u]play only Destiny 2[/u], a game I've already paid hundreds for, and the money wouldn't even be supporting Bungie if that were my want with said streaming service. It's not just me who is affected by this restriction to not enable access on Linux by not enabling Battleye for Linux. There are Steam Deck users who can and have been banned for trying to play on their portable gaming device. The upcoming Steam Machine will not be able to play the game. Linux has always been put in a catch-22 by developers who don't create support for the platform, because they don't think people will be using Linux anyways. But this is a scenario where enabling support is not as complex as doing it with art or productive software. Linux is often fear mongered as "the hacker platform" because of how open you can modify your system, but that's it, just fear mongering. Cheating as a problem is not something that is exaggerated by the operating system someone is using. I've been knee-deep in the Linux community since I swapped, and cheating and hacking is not a common, if at all, topic, because people just like the operating systems for having more hands-on control on what their computer is set up like, not what they can possibly do to be malicious online. Please, for a part of your final EoD update, please enable Linux support on Battleye. It future-proofs anyone who wants to play on Linux, and you still have your anti-cheat working. And to anyone who sees this post, please be considerate. There's literally nothing malicious about asking for support like this, it takes an insignificant amount of time to enable the Battleye support, and all I'm asking is to be able to play one of the biggest games of my life again without hassle. I had a previous post of a similar nature a few months back get harassed because they thought it was a stupid ask and that I should just pay a subscription service to play, and that "not enough people play on linux, so why does it matter."
