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

    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…

      The problem are kernel-anticheats, and EA of course.

      The problem is EAs business model for this game. It is free to pay, so EA need to extract money otherwise. They introduce some gamified resource collection and crafting with exponentially rising costs, etc. And hope that gamers circumvent that by buying stuff with real money. Now players don’t all want or can’t do that, and look for alternative solutions.

      So EAs business model drives people to cheat. To cheat them primarily and other players secondarily.

      And because of their business model, they cannot solve the cheating between players by giving them dedicated servers or just let them P2P match, because they would loose control over them and their ability to extract more money.

      Can you fully block a publisher? I’m sick of seeing Activision and EA games up there so it’d be great if you can.

    There was a time when my steam friend preasured me to get Apex Legends, but I refused because of piece of shit EA. Seems I made a right choice.

    But then again nobody plays that anymore, so nothing gained, nothing lost.

    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.

      If you are looking for a semi competitive shooter, I’d highly recommend The Finals. Tons of fun and solid gun play. Game isn’t officially supported but runs great on linux.

      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’m curious to see how Valve will respond to this seeing as they have CS. I imagine they’d be interested to build a solution but I’m not sure how plausible that even is.

      It’s EAC, which is kernel level on Windows but not on Linux. I guess they wanted to go full kernel-level anti-cheat.

      Man I’ve not heard about the finals in a while. I remember I played it every day for two week straight and got everything for my class. Is it better now than at launch?
