Fuck. Even if I never play EA games they might still share this anti cheat with other companies. X_x aaaaaghhh

But to be fair, if a company partners with EA their game is probably shit.

Guys guys guys- The evil corporation is getting on board. Things really ARE that bad.

This looks like primarily Windows on AArch64 then maybe Linux support later.

I'd be more interested in Linux IntelX86-Amd64 support for stuff like the SteamDeck. Windows on Arm is borderline non-existent

I don't want EA games on Linux. They can stay on Windows for all that I care.

[-] markz@suppo.fi 0 points 2 months ago

I take it you also want users to stay on Windows.

Normal people don't care which OS others use.

I don't and wouldn't really play the kind of games that use it, but nice. Though also I don't know what running this on proton means. Kernel level is not nice.

Anything that leads to a world where cheaters instantly explode. Can't get there soon enough. Nothing worse than a cheat!!
