MODERATORS
You're pretty misinformed here. EA (or rather the internal studio, Respawn) had to include the EasyAnticheat
.so
file (which is specifically designed to allow EasyAnticheat to function under Linux --.so
files are the Linux equivalent of Windows.dll
s) in their Apex Legends builds to begin with. Otherwise, EAC will not run on Linux, period. This developer opted-in to EasyAnticheat running, and has continued to opt-in to this.This isn't Valve "tacking on" support, the presence of that file is an explicit "we're permitting this to work" (even if they don't "officially" consider it supported).
