- constantcrying 1y agoIt is not a DRM problem, you can run many EA games on Linux with no problems, it is an anti cheat problem, which can not be solved by Valve, it has to be done by EA.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 1y agoCorrect but the customer doesn't care whose fault it is, they just want to play the latest games.
- arvinsim 1y agoValve making more devices to propogate Steam is a good thing. If they achieve critical mass, EA will then be pressured to implement a compatible solution.
- constantcrying 1y agoSure, it doesn't matter to the customer. But it matters if the problem is going to be solved. Valve can not solve it. The only way it can be solved is if game studios create anti cheat software, which are effective and can be used within a Linux environment. This will only happen if companies see a profit motive to do this, which will happen if the market is large enough.
- Razengan 1y agoLook at it this way: Not having to play those money suckers leaves you more time for all the awesome indies out there!
- rvz 1y agoWell that’s one of the big reasons why PC gaming on Windows will remain dominant for a very very long time and Linux-based PCs for gaming will always remain behind. Majority of gamers really don’t care about indie games. (unless they are exceptional)
