Comment on Apex Legends is, yet again, falsely banning linux players

  You’re pretty misinformed here. EA had to include the EasyAnticheat .so file in their Apex Legends builds to begin with. Otherwise, EAC will not run on Linux, period. This developer opted-in to EasyAnticheat running, and has continued to opt-in to this.

  This isn’t Valve “tacking on” support, the presence of that file is an explicit “we’re permitting this to work” (even if they don’t “officially” consider it supported).

  If they want money from from Linux users then they need to do better. If they don’t then offer out refunds.

    They don’t want money from linux users. They never wanted money from linux users (to my knowledge).

    If you buy a bunch of apple peripherals and then switch to linux, you don’t get a refund from the apple store.

      I think it’s fair to assume shareholders want money from anyone who will give it to them.

      Local laws determines if you can get a refund so I can only argue I think you should get a refund if a product stops working due to the manufacture.

      Personally I’d rather not buy from them in the first place but there is likely a benefit to showing Linux users will buy it if you treat them right.

        By that logic, McDonald’s is accountable for not serving lobster. I mean, I want lobster and I might be dumb enough to give McDonald’s money for it.
