EA Games has officially removed Linux support for Apex Legends, and the decision has left players outraged. In this video, we dive into why EA decided to drop Linux support and the controversy surrounding their anti-cheat technology, which they claim can't handle the open-source platform. Many Linux gamers feel betrayed by EA’s lack of commitment to supporting diverse operating systems, especially since they’d invested time and money into the game. Is EA Games really just being anti-Linux, or is there more to this story?
