Too many distros so they can't fully secure it. And if they did target just one distro the blowback would be intolerable as always. Currently only 800 players through lutris so its just not worth the investment. I get their reasoning it just sucks

Would it be? Steam officially only supported (maybe still does) Ubuntu for a long time and I've never seen much blowback.

There was quite a lot when it came out, it died out after a while. There is far less for the steamos now based on arch but I think thats because its just on the steamdeck and they haven't prevented other distros from being ported to the hardware

I feel that the 800 players count is severely misleading counting, they've announced no Linux support and vanguard changes for months now most people already stopped playing LoL on linux, this 800 number is counting now not a accumulative number.
