Re: When will Proton support for EAC be enabled in Apex Legends?

If I understand the text below, quoted from:

https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/services/en-US/GameServices/AntiCheat/index.html

Linux Wine / Proton Support

It is possible to run many Windows games on Linux using the Wine or Proton compatibility layers and the anti-cheat client protection can support this configuration. To enable support for your game, you must be using SDK version 1.14 or greater and activate a client module for the Linux platform.

Players running the game using Wine or Proton will use the Linux client module, so you should test and activate client module updates for Linux regularly in addition to Windows.

correct me if I'm wrong but the underlined would imply that Respawn/EA would have to put in a bit more work then simply checking a check-box.

As much I'd love to play Apex on Linux, when was the last time EA actually made a game that respected players' choices/opinions more than their money?

IMO, EA will NOT release it on linux, unless there's a profit incentive, the bigger a company is the less it cares about responding to its playerbase.
