Absolutely none of the problems mentioned in this article have anything to do with Roblox being an online game.

Let’s just say this would have been (and is) a problem for competitive games like Fortnite, Valorant and Apex Legends - at least until Epic releases the Linux Easy Anti Cheat to third party developers https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/game/guides/os/

Linux Easy Anti Cheat already exists. Games like Rust and 7 Days to Die do this fine on Linux.

The issue is those developers aren't releasing a Linux native version of the game that can use the native anti-cheat. And getting a Windows version of anti-cheat working through Wine is harder. Games like Valorant and Apex will never release a Linux native version
