Would've cared... If the game had gotten any good updates for the past... Year? Probably more at this point.
Does this have anything to do with the other Steam related headline I read in a post earlier: " Games now have to disclose kernel level anticheat on steam?"
It is nice timing but I believe apex is already well known for its anticheat so they wouldnt be disclosing whats not already known

They just can't stop killing this game, the last few updates have been dog shit and now they do this.
These fucka banned me 2 years ago and I never even played the damn game. My brother convinced me to download this and when I opened it, bam, already banned. They new I was just too good and would win every game. Literally the only game I've ever been banned from.

Cool, fuck EA.
Lame. :/ Guess I'm changing my review then.
K bye.
Who am I kidding? I never bothered with that crap.
If you accidentally ban linux users in three[1] different[2] banwaves[3], then linux was only halfway supported in the first place, even if they overturned (almost) all of those bans.
I think the real reason they did it was EA's financial situation. Since money is tight, the amount of resources they were willing to put into real linux anti-cheat probably dropped to "none at all," and now we're here. Otherwise other cheater-prone games like Counter Strike, Overwatch, Halo, The Finals, DayZ, Hunt Showdown, etc would have probably dropped/blocked linux by now too.
I would be so upset if Hunt Showdown did this.
Hell, I'm mad Apex Legends did it and I have very little time invested in that game.
I really wish game developers would stop with this kernel level anticheat nonsense that doesn't even work. Everyone in every gaming community just points the finger, people that play games using Easy Anticheat say Battleye sucks and vice versa.
If kernel level anticheat actually worked, there would be a definitive answer to which games have good anticheat.

They're probably adding EA anti-cheat and that's why they say they're removing the Steam Deck support
