    Wait does apex legends work in Linux?

    I finally got a graphics card from this decade, and I kept trying to play it the other day but it kept giving me anticheat errors before I even got into the game.

    Never played it before. Ended up playing slipgate and an athletic young lady let me play cyberpunk a bit.

      Nope - anything made by Epic, EA, Ubisoft, Riot or Rockstar is blocked from working on Linux, and the list is actually growing with For Honor being blocked soon

        Ooh, well apologies to all those companies but I guess I won’t be playing any of their games.

        I don’t think there’s anything that a game could do that would convince me to install windows for it.

          I’ve personally ditched most gaming as a result, same as I mostly stopped following media after DRM became a thing a decade or so ago. I wish more people did the same, because interacting with people while being intentionally unaware of popular culture is difficult

            DRM has existed since the DVD era. I think there were even several attempts with VHS before that.

              What do you think, I was already peeved with DVD DRM, but at least it could be bypassed. With streaming services, where the file resides in a server instead of in a physical medium at home, it’s much harder to fix that
