In the case of fortnite, this isn't really true. The issue of fortnite is the anti cheat system is not designed to play nice with Linux and allowing Linux without having the anti cheat on point would lead to players getting mad at cheaters and the collapse of fortnite. It's happened to several games in the past that couldn't prevent people from cheating.
Easy anti-cheat stays on. Several other games have implemented it on Linux without problems. Easy anti-cheat made it as easy as the developer (Epic Games) checking a box to allow it to run on Linux. That's what the person you're responding to is referring to. It's a recent development that happened earlier this year.
And those games are...? There are plenty of games that have allowed anticheat to work on Linux and haven't imploded, but I don't know of a single one that has. Care to encourage enlighten me?
I don't specifically mean games that used anti cheats that ran on Linux. I just mean games that couldn't keep from too many people cheating and it ruining the online aspect of a game. A couple different Diablo games come to mind. COD:Warzone got pummeled for a while. Fall Guys had a very rough season 1.
