EA decided that they wanted to push the blame onto us instead of actually fixing the problem (being hackers). In actuality, most hackers are Windows script-kiddies using random cheats that probably have malware from sketchy GitHub pages. I don't play the game anymore anyway but I wanted to contribute to giving this game a "Borked" rating.

Installs:Yes

Read about it on their anti-cheat blog. They entirely removed support for steam deck and linux distros because "The openness of the Linux operating systems makes it an attractive one for cheaters and cheat developers."

Get better EA. Give some dev-time to your linux team and let them fix it instead of outright banning it. Disappointing

EA removed proton support after YEARS of no problems. Framing the whole linux player base as cheaters is despicable and also flat out wrong. Boycott EA.
