Blocked by anti-cheatSteam Machine: Unsupported

Its anti-cheat (Easy Anti-Cheat, VAC) is not working on Linux for this game, so it won't run properly even where Proton otherwise could handle it. Easy Anti-Cheat runs on Linux in 144 other games Sifter tracks; VAC runs on Linux in 102 other games Sifter tracks — so this is a per-game decision rather than a limit of the anti-cheat.

Valve rates it Unsupported on Steam Machine. Valve marks it Unsupported on SteamOS.

MASTERS OF CONSTRUCTION: Creative use of a wide choice of blocks in-game mean your deadly and devious constructions can cause havoc with the enemy – and the map.
