One of the few battle royales that did support the Deck.

    Make fun of Apex all you want, it was the best performing game of its kind on the Deck and kept me from selling my Deck sooner. Now, I’m even a Linux convert because of how well games like Apex worked away from their Windows origins. Seeing a large game like this be killed off on Linux is awful. I’m not sure where the blame lies (with EA, right?) but it needs to be fixed.

    All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

    It’s illegal to steal someone else’s property. We don’t enforce that law by cutting off everyone’s hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn’t happened yet…

    If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can’t moderate their platform, that isn’t the fault of the community - it’s a failing of the corporation. It’s such a ridiculous mindset. It’s a fucking video game…

      Nope. They had anti cheat that supported it, but they experienced higher issues with cheating via linux than elsewhere. Which sucks. People who cheat suck.

        I never understand why when this happens the solution is always “cut off everyone” instead of placing Linux players in a lower trust lobby

          That would just cause legit Linux players to generate negativity by always being stuck with cheaters. It’s way easier to just remove support if it really is most of your cheating problems for such a small player base.

    That sucks.

    Apex was the game I played with my friends to keep in touch long distance. Guess I gotta find something new now. Sure as he’ll ain’t installing Win11 for it.

    I guess it’s been a long time coming. The dev decisions and priorities the last few years have really made it feel like I’m the last person they want playing their game.
