MODERATORS
Steam should allow you to download older versions when companies pull bullshit like this.
The kind of people who like competitive video games -especially sports - are the same kind of jerkasses that used to bully actual fans of video games in the 80s-90s. So enjoy your busted-ass FIFA lol
Meanwhile, esports gamers, being the biggest bunch of dorks on the planet.
Especiallyspecially in the 80's the "nerds and jocks" division was tangible. For jocks it was a social suicide to say they played video games or knew how to use a computer and nerds were beaten and bullied for being a member in the local computer club.
Jocks often had secret friendships with a nerd to play video games that they instantly denied if questioned.
So I understand where your hostility comes from, but still a little rough.
Here the setup broke down in the 90's when jocks started using computers to get to the early social medias, because nerds sisters were there. Sisters had taken interest what their nerd brothers were doing and saw the potential in chats and forums.
WRC is a rally racing game.
And even if it weren't, this is a shit take.
Truly
Clearly EA weren't satisfied with only getting the "worst company in America" award twice.
I think it's hilarious with the market for Linux handhelds this hot that these companies are still like "ew no thanks"

I don't think the technical details reach the people making the decisions. They may have heard "Steam Deck works with PC games" (because there is no distinction between PC and Windows for them) and then don't allocate resources for a proper port to Steam Deck.
People are still buying EA shit.
Surely there isn’t that big of a cheating problem in a fucking rally driving video game, to the point where you need ring 0 anti cheat?
Regardless, this rise in invasive anti cheat is getting seriously annoying. I hope the right person gets pissed off and finds a way to make them run on Linux for the sake of the rest of the community, but even still, I’ll continue to play single player experiences and leave my mental health intact.
Every racing game (or IRL event) Some people will try to cheat to win
While neither EA nor Steam ever said anything about support for Linux or the Steam Deck (the store page stated unsupported), it's still a dick move inserting kernel level ~~antichrist~~ anticheat MONTHS after release, altering the deal and making the product a security and privacy nightmare!
Also a really bad business decision to scare future buyers away, with Linux gaming gaining traction thanks to Steam Deck and the likes.
I personally won't buy anything from EA going forward and stick to my statement from the games Steam forum:
Another reason to just wait before buying a game, especially from large corpo publishers like EA!
Releasing unfinished, buggy games for prices north of 60 bucks AND "altering the deal" MONTHS later, rendering the product either unplayable or making it a security and privacy nightmare, is a big, BIG pile of BS!
Don't let the FOMO get you, learn from this.
Make your voices heard and place an appropriate review!
And by all means: try to get a refund!
...or this WILL happen again!
Every single version of DiRT Rally has MASSIVE cheating problems
Really spoiled the online stages
Really spoiled the online stages
And now this change spoils single player.
