Linux support, ever?

I'm sad as this series is one of my favorites from my childhood and I was so excited to see where things went.

I don't have any windows anymore and don't plan on dual booting just to play.

I hope that they will turn on the battle eye proton support but who knows.

If they didn’t release destiny 2 to linux after 6 years I doubt it will be soon if ever. Which is sad coz game is pretty basic. I don’t see technical limitations. Console is your best bet.

I would say, shoot them an email and complain about it on every public and private forum that you can. We are getting so close to being free from Windows tyranny.

I am unsure where to find a viable email for them, and I'm not on many public socials to them in many situations.

Never say never, but if they didn't turn it on for Destiny 2 at this point, I wouldn't be sure for Marathon, at least any time in the launch window/year.

I doubt it will get Linux support due to one reason: BattlEye

It is the kernel level anti-cheat that they use to prevent deter client side hacking. Which currently doesn't have Linux support. https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathonsecurity

For Destiny, I always wondered why they didn't leave it off by default for PvE (missions, ops, etc). And only enforce it for the PvP modes. That would have allowed for at least partial support on Linux.

I hear that but battleye has native Linux support for quite some time. It's up to devs to turn on support or not so that doesn't make too much sense.

also since most of the anti-cheat methods they are implementing are server side rather than client side, so again, doesn't make too much sense to me.

Thanks for the link, didn't know they now support Linux.

of course! but all the more reason I'm puzzled.
