I just want to know your reasoning on this. If you're interested in Nightreign, I can only assume that you've already played and enjoyed Elden Ring. Elden Ring itself uses EAC which is kernel level on Windows but is playable on Linux. There's no reason to suspect that Fromsoft would change the implementation of EAC since it has been proven to work for them and altering it would cost money. So I'm not sure I understand why you would avoid Nightreign given that you already have EAC on your system. Not asking this to be snarky or hostile, I just genuinely can't understand the motive here.

And mind that I'm already avoiding Nightreign when it comes out since it sounds (to me) like a departure from Elden Ring's gameplay, so you can be sure that I'm not some Fromsoft stan mindlessly defending everything they make.

I’ll wait until it’s heavily on sale and that it’s proven itself to actually play on Linux. Just like I did for Elden ring. Otherwise I’d pay them full price on day one.
