- DaddleDew@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago- Oh no. - Anyway, 
- wioum@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago- I was semi-excited for BF6, but no linux is no go. This will probably be the last decent BF ever. 😔 
- Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago- Yawns 
- NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago- I think the more interesting/concerning aspect is: - EA have spent the past year or so rapidly disabling linux access for past Battlefield games (Allegedly 3 worked as of July but I vaguely remember that not being true anymore). EA have also been working to be bought out by some of the worst people on the planet. - And a common thing with acquisitions like that is some of that “why would they do that?” starts making sense. So… yeah. 
- HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago- At least we’re in agreement not to do any business then. - Does BF6 have a single player campaign worth pirating? 
- Qwel@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago- Is the franchise still popular nowadays? - HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago- Apparently BF6 is a rebound after 2042 being a flop. It’s not like it’s in the “Top 30 franchises ever”, but it’s apparently popular. - prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago- The open beta was a lot of fun, with call of duty being what it is and the rest of the FPS scene seeming to go color / flash or … Overwatch and its clones, my millennial buddies and I are excited for it. - I’m the only PC player in my group, and my gaming pc is only used for gaming and sits in a DMZ. So. They can rootkit away, but it does suck generally that this is the state of anti cheat. 
- GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 weeks ago- The beta for this was excellent for players that got into the series at 3 or 4. Unfortunately EA got bought by some shady private equity so I will not be supporting it

Seeing that I now only have a steamdeck and a linux PC, they won’t be getting any business from me.

Same here. If a game is not playable on GNU/Linux I don’t even give a flying f*ck anymore. There are so many awesome titles to play instead.
