Of the two games mentioned, one has kernel-level anticheat, the other is "you guys don't have phones?" The entire industry can go fuck itself.
I sincerely doubt the anti-cheat is why Wildgate failed. It's a multiplayer extraction shooter, that's just a tough market to break into, and their gamble didn't pay off.
Sunderfolk on the other hand, you're probably right. A digital tabletop RPG, made for couch coop (although you can play solo and just control everyone), that you need a phone/tabled app for? And it's $50/50€? That was never going to be a massive seller.
A Twitch streamer I like got into streaming Wildgate, I don't hate watching it but it's not interesting enough for me to buy myself. I've never gotten into multiplayer extraction shooters though so I'm not really the target audience. I'm on Linux so I probably can't play it due to the anti-cheat regardless.
Looks like this actually works on Linux. Steam Deck rating is Playable, with ProtonDB rating as Gold. Not that this changes the other part, where the game doesn't look interesting to you.
