Battlefield V now broken on Steam Deck / Linux with EA anticheat live
That's all folks. EA anticheat has now been added into Battlefield V, so it's the end of being able to play it on Steam Deck and other Linux systems.
No EA game is worth the hassle.
55EA has made some absolute bangers:
SimCity (1989)
SimCity 2000 (1993)
Dungeon Keeper (1997)
Lots of Ultima games (90s)
The Sims (2000)
Medal of Honor (2000)
Command & Conquer games (early 2000s)
SSX (2000)... Was Battlefield 2142 (2006) good? They didn't make the first two games.
Does Spore (2008) count? The game was shit, and had DRM that only let you install it 3 times ever per license, and didn't do what it said it would with massive over promise and under deliver. But it was ambitious and different, at least?
Dead Space (2008)
Mirror's Edge (2008)
Dragon Age: Origins (2009)
Mass Effect 2 (2010) (they didn't make 1)
Plants vs. Zombies (2011)I'm tired of going through this list, lol. There are a zillion "next sportsball version" games and mobile games to sift through. Also, turns out some of the best EA games I remember were only published by them but made by another developer... Until EA bought them out, lol.
6Battlefield 2142 was ambitious. It included one of the most fun Battlefield game modes I've played (Titan), and in my opinion the main reason it bombed somewhat was that it came out way too quickly after Battlefield 2, which was still ragingly popular with PC gamers, and the player base didn't have much appetite for changing over to a new game.

The more EA breaks their own shitty games, the more powerful Linux becomes
33And cheaters are still in game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjI9mgYyoDs
20Shitass support main. Hipfires with LMG mid-range, prones in the middle of the street, drops no ammo kits, somehow managed to die 3 times in the end.
5Is it your position that cheaters are inevitable and publishers should not do anything to prevent them from cheating?

Couldn't bother really, game companies nowadays make such bad games anyway. The only good ones are the Playstation and Xbox exclusives ported to PC, because those games have to be good to be a selling point of the console. Meanwhile EA Ubisoft and friends just rely on using the same franchise name to sell copies

Halo Infinite and Forza Motorsport say hello
6Have they addressed the issues with the Multiplayer in Forza Motorsport? FH5s Multiplayer was unplayable
1Meanwhile most other ports wave happily back, although quite a few had a rough start

Small and self published devs are the way forward, capitalist corps can and will eventually optimize the fun out of every game they touch in search of profit margins.

I'll see if i can get a refund. Made the poor decision to re-buy the game on Steam after owning it on Origin (a lot easier to store it on an external drive on steamdeck)
Kinda evident to how badly Battlefield 2048 is going that they're still even bothering to update BFV.
11Now that helldivers works, I care less, even as a big battlefield player
8That's why I didn't buy Battlefield 2042. If I'm in the mood, I play Battlefield 4. Works on Linux
5Wait that company still exists?? Huh TIL!
I thought the company died once people got the shits with them and stopped buying anything from them.
2I wish things worked that way, but I suspect EA will continue to persist as a tumor.
5What company, EA? When did people stop buying their games?
1Idk for me it was around the time of Battlefield 1.
