Battlebit Remastered on Linux/Anti-cheat (kbin.social)

This game has recently come to my attention and it seems to work fine on Linux for now. But apparently the developers have decided to switch from their current anti-cheat (Easy Anti-cheat) to Faceit in the future, which would make it impossible to play on official servers on Linux.

Am I missing something here? I was interested in buying the game, but if they are going to basically disable Linux support in the future, it seems like a bad idea.

Edit: This article is quite helpful. Apparently the developers arent entirely sure about FACEIT either. So we will have to wait and see.

Hope valve gives refunds to people, regardless of how long they played it, due to their ability to play the game on their chosen OS suddenly being ripped away.
