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

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?"
I approve of that but I don't know how it is a change? I have already been refusing to consider games because they have Denuvo listed.
Idk my sole interaction is through these headlines lol, I don't have steam, and haven't really even played anything since like RDR2 (well, not counting my GBC, I play with that all the time, currently playing Earthworm Jim (GB).)
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.
Wasn't Apex Legends the game, that run better in wine than natively on windows?
People still play Apex?
Yes* unfortunately. It's very popular.
I'll never understand why people enjoy P2W games.
It's not P2W though, right? I thought they only sell cosmetics w/o competitive advantage (outside a mistake here and there), everything that actually impacts competitiveness is provided equally to everyone.
If that's not the case, could you link something that indicates that?

One of the few ea games I played,what a shame ig my luck truly died down.
Edit after reading the article it's that same excuse, too muc hakers,dude isnt your game full of hackers wayy before linux users.(I wrote it like that to make fun of companies that say linux is a way for hackers)
But this is the time to quit all greedy companies.
How much fucking harder/extra work is it to maintain a Linux version of something? God damn, I don't even really use Linux outside of servers and I still think it's bullshit how little support it gets because it's like a Catch 22. Nobody works on it because nobody uses it; but nobody uses it because nobody works on it! (For gaming, anyway)
It's amazing how much actual change this one piece of hardware has done to bolster Linux's share of things, but it's still also just kind of a drop in the bucket.
Ohh my god true, these companies are massive but man for a while many games are windows first.
Oh no
Anyway
Would've cared... If the game had gotten any good updates for the past... Year? Probably more at this point.
Oh no. Anyways.
Lame. :/ Guess I'm changing my review then.
This must be the drastic change to increase monetization they were talking about just yesterday.
Well, I'm happy in a way i can't go back in it...
F. Them
