Developer Respawn Entertainment and publisher EA recently shared some harsh insights about Linux as a gaming platform.
However, the developer has identified Linux as a path for various “impactful exploits and cheats.”
For this reason, the studio chose to block all Linux gamers from joining Apex Legends sessions.
The company says its decision will significantly reduce instances of cheating.
To eliminate this cheat vector, EA decided to prevent Linux users from accessing the game.
Meanwhile, Windows and other supported platforms should not be affected.
