I mean I think for the last years every time I opened Steam Charts to see popular games there it is, Rust.

I wonder why I never have seen anyone talk about this game on Reddit or Lemmy. I've seen posts related to Warframe, Marvel Rivals, CS, Arc Raiders, and many others get in Popular tab of Reddit, but never anything related to Rust.

I think of it as a toxic no-rules environment, but if you want one of the better stories of it, see SovietWomble's...

Well you won't see a lot of discussion about it here as its developers explicitly ban players from trying to run it on Linux for "cheating and bug report reasons"

Its a good game that regularly updates and listens to player feedback and also isn't predatory.

Its a pretty fun loop since its completely about organic player interactions ~~and toxic greifing~~

I played it a lot back in the day. Only problem is its one of those games you gotta REALLY get into. Like fall asleep while running the game so you can hear your base getting raided type shit. It has CSGO like gun play so you can practice spray patterns and go to training servers.

You can get real sweaty there.

Simultaneously there's a lot of 2x 5x and 10x servers for more casual play.

Its a good game and a lot of fun when your friends are into it.
