@nenoro_95It is quite clear that EA or Epic Game will never consider Linux after all this years Linux Community has been asking for Linux ports for their games. When you search linux in Answers HQ, you can see the request for linux can be date back to the time of BF3, which was 2012. 8 years has passed, and this request is ignored. Given an update in Apex Legend in February was also breaking WINE deliberately and also the recent ban and suspension of account in BF5, We can safely interpret that as a big "NO" to linux for their games already.
I only kept Windows for only one EA games: Titanfall2. And 99% of my time is using Linux. Windows are as bad as where my other posts and many others peoples who had already stated in Answers HQ (or other forums or in reddit). I am disappointed for EA whom they do not see the Linux potential for their possible business gain. Their refusal on porting games in Linux and calling Linux users as cheaters had enough to cause their old fans and Linux community angry.
There's an easy solution to this problem use the FAR superior Vulkan API instead of Directx.
If you talking cheats there probably are 99% more cheaters using windows, perhaps they should begin to ban Windows instead.
- @Ormgryd "Perhaps they should begin to ban Windows instead" obviously this was irony on your part, of course this isn't the solution but it is indeed quite strange how the anticheat picks up irrelevant things, like what OS does the client run on, but fails to detect cheats so obvious that you can see the dude running straight through walls, flying across the map, etc.
