Let's do some math here, they said:
Let's do a quick math. The maximum peak users for Rust was 259,646 concurrent users according to https://steamcharts.com/app/252490 . Let's assume 60% (more than half) of all the .01% users were cheaters, congratulations, you got rid of all those 16 cheaters... I haven't played much Rust, but I'm fairly confident that there's a bit more than 16 cheaters there.
And that's without getting into the whole client side anti-cheat doesn't work.
You dont understand linux users have black magic hacks that ruined the game for every player on every server, their power cant be understated... Theyre a whole bunch of dangerous hardened criminals
I feel like some people think Linux is only for hackers and cybersecurity professionals
And genuine hackers and cybersecurity professionals have got way better things to do than cheat in Rust.
The cheaters are all obnoxious 12-year-olds who couldn't land a single hit without the cheats, that's why all the compilation videos of cheaters falling foul to fake cheat software are so funny. They'll spend 10 minutes trying to go through a doorway without it ever occurring to them that something must be wrong.
🤣 beware the Linux users

every single one is a l44t hack3r bro
It was the elite hacker 4chan, they hacked all their servers and stole all their ram.
