Linux Feedback Megathread

@E9ine_AC  This post right here proves that you know nothing about what you are talking about. I don't know * about how they cheat, but using a Windows vm on linux is the exact same as using a vm on Windows, so they wouldn't need Linux. Furthermore, the cheaters who use vms would still be able to play the game and cheat, since they're technically playing on windows, not Linux.

"Not sure how some can state windows runs bad with apex. When linux users majority of the times are running a virtual machine of windows to cheat in apex legends hiding their linux machines. lol"

Also, cheaters don't need the game to run well.

@ZutcheyNo, using those OSS (proprietary ones like VMWare or HyperV wouldnt work anyway) VMs on a Windows Host System isn't "exactly" the same as using them on a Linux Host. They lack crucial functionality on a Windows Host which is needed to make those cheats and/or the game work. Otherwise they wouldnt need Linux in the 1st place ...
I wont explain further since it might be seen as advertising such practices.

@r1ggedgame  I don't know how these cheats interact with these vms or other * like that, but what I do know, is that they probably still work. Considering how apex and eac believe they're on windows, they won't get kicked, meaning that the only ones who suffer are regular people like me, who play on Linux, but don't use vms. That's really the main point I was trying to make. @E9ine_AC  was basically making a point against daddy EA, without realizing it, and I just wanted to point it out.

@r1ggedgameI know, I just kind of found it funny how he himself implies that cheaters won't be affected, only the regular person will suffer the consequences, since the "majority" of cheaters on linux are using vms, and those that are affected, could just use vms, according to him.

Honestly, any anger, complain or yelling here toward their Linux cut decision at AnswerHQ or at the Steam post are pointless, they (EA or their dev tech team) will ignore them, do not read them, or reading them and do not care. They have not provide Linux group any chances to appeal, nor it feels like it is a decision that can be repealed by anyone. And thanks to the EA post, Linux group are now stigmatized, smeared by EA to be a criminal, hacker, cheater and people that plays dirty at their computer, without any data or evidence provided by EA purely hearsay.

The small number EA are referring to has been growing significantly compare to the first posted requesting for Linux support which they claim Linux is too small to consider for their EA Origin Launcher or its games. This "small" number might still relatively smaller compare with M$ wINdOwS, but Linux is clearly not short of people, it has grow significant enough for Steam to have acknowledge and adopt Linux as its main platform. Many devices has used Linux for its stability and security. I would never trust a device that uses wInDOwS to store my personal data, or use it for getting online to bank, to check email or to shops.

The only EA games now I play is Titanfall2, I fear how long can this game survive if they are so aggressive toward Linux.

If I am wrong with anything I said, my apology, and please do not hesitate to correct me.

@Zutchey I am against linux in this situation. As a linux owner (I have 7 linux machines) I just know, yes they can game or be built to game. Are they regularly used to game by a vast majority of the world? Certainly not.

There is more to cheating than just aim bots and walls. You notice how actual farming bots who afk and randomly shoot not to be kicked for afk are virtually gone now that linux is no more? Cause I sure do. I have 37 videos going on Hong Kong Halloween event and all 37 matches had endless bots physically standing still and randomly shooting. Linux change went in I played for 18 matches same mode same server and did not find 1 single bot in the entire game.

So while you look at cheating from 1 aspect some of us see it from all angles not 1 sided.

On the bright side, Respawn can close all linux bug threads as "not-reproducible" :D
