I refuse to buy a ton of games because they are hot garbage these days. Its pretty obvious what gamers want and they will shower their money at it. Look at Oblivion remastered. It had bare minimum marketing if you can even claim it had any marketing.

Tbf, a part of the issues causing since rampant cheating comes from the fact that those Riot games are indeed "what gamers want". There's definitely a divide in community between single player darlings like BGS's output and these "free" competitive service games like League or Apex or whatnot.

My point being, a lot of games seem to disable Linux due to cheating concerns. They get none of my money. Rust can sit there and gather rust in my steam library until the end of time.

Okay. I sympathize but you're the literal 1% of the target market for most games. Devs will take that risk.
