Bring Apex Legends to Linux please 🥺

Hi @pogoyox or to whom that any EA particular will concern,

I wished for the same here.

I moved away from Windows few years ago and I quit dual booting from Windows as Windows really is an un-satisfactory experience to me. Linux gaming has moved forward dramatically, in terms of numbers of players, graphics, supporting hardware, FPS, number of supporting game (see Valve: Steam), etc. However, it is not just a Linux build problem but also the EAC that is stopping Linux build from happening.

For a responsible gaming company, freedom, security, safety and privacy are the upmost important. By letting your users continue to be exposed to high risk of danger clear is irresponsible. I wish to make it clear that, this is a complain, and it is not an ordinary feedback that after reading it it will be flushed to the toilet.Linux is NOT a cheat, cheater is a cheater because he cheated not because his choice of his OS that make him a cheater - Yes, I am talking about you, EPIC GAMING. And I have heard enough replies saying "We currently have no intention, or have not heard any announcement, on adding Linux as one of the EA platform for our users". 

I got Nintendo Switch version and got back to Apex therefore played a bit. The screen resolution is at it lowest and I cannot controller aim, it is just a "dying simulator" situation which happens in a roll that really have put me off the game. 

Good news! It seems like EAC is coming to Linux 🥳

This sounds like the game developers still have to adapt their games though...  so again pleeeaaase do it 🥺

That would make me soooo happy 🙂

Steam Deck is powerful enough to run Apex Legends.

Did Respawn get the dev kits? Other devs are posting Steam Deck videos with their games. Can we have one for Apex?

@devel_origincan you point to examples of other teams showing results?

I have preinstalled Apex in my Arch env and am exitedly waiting for updates 🤓 Meanwhile I am playing less Apex, cause booting into Windows sux. Instead I play BotW on a WiiU emulator, written for Windows ... because even that works flawlessly. Go Respawn, you can do it 😘

@pogoyoxI saw Doom Eternal on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SElZABp5M3U&t=684s

There are some examples in one place here: https://twitter.com/OnDeck

But it's obviously the Doom one that has caught my eye because it's an FPS game.
