It’s only currently planned for PC, with no controller or console plans yet — and Mountaintop won’t necessarily allow Steam Deck to join. “Steam Deck is a concern as a cheating vector, and I think our anti-cheat systems may block it right now,” Mountaintop CEO and cofounder Nate Mitchell tells me.

I'm sorry, what game? This just looks like a 5$ bin indie™ (They got 30M$ in funding through investments) Unreal Engine 4 shooter. The fact that there's no controller support or console ports planned says more than enough. What's newsworthy about their use of a crappy anti-cheat? Not like most in here were ever going to even think about it. It's a freemium GAAS shooter with an almost inevitably a small player base which will be all but dead a few months after coming out. I know I'm being mean and their people have been working on this game for years now, but come on.
