The developers of Apex Legends have announced that they're going to be blocking the game completely on Linux platforms including Steam Deck.

EA needed a scapegoat it seems

As someone on Mastodon wisely pointed out: There aren’t enough Linux gamers to invest resources in supporting them properly, but there are enough using it to cheat to actively block them?

If I had to guess, blocking is cheaper than supporting since you just do it once.

It seems like BS eh. Other folks I’ve seen are suggesting its just because they want to ditch easy anti-cheat to go with EA anti-cheat which (apparently) is windows only with no plans to develop for linux.
