Palworld is adding external anticheat, but it will only be required for official servers. Community servers, single player, and coop will have it be optional.
We don’t know yet if the anticheat will be compatible with Linux yet, but the options to not use it means that it shouldn’t be too disruptive either way.
You can thank the completely obscene financialization of everything for that. Suits don’t care about making things people enjoy, they care about making things that generate money. Skinner box microtransaction mechanisms etc. are just a result of that – many games aren’t made to be fun, they’re made to make you pay
