   @73CC Proprietary malware that doesn't soil what should be the free GNU system is a good thing.
   
   I don't believe they use godot, but that is the expected result when you use weak licenses instead of licensing AGPLv3-or-later as you should.

     #EA has confirmed that #Battlefield 6 will be completely unplayable on #Linux systems, including #SteamDeck, due to its new kernel-level anti-cheat system, “EA Javelin,” which explicitly blocks Linux. This move is a slap in the face to the growing #Linuxgaming community, especially considering how far compatibility has come with #Proton and #SteamOS.

     Worse yet, EA is using open-source tech like the #GodotEngine in parts of the game, while denying access to the very platforms that champion #opensource. It’s hypocritical and #anticonsumer.

     There’s no option to disable #anticheat for #singleplayer or #privateservers, meaning users who value #privacy or #freedom of platform are locked out entirely.

     It's a hostile decision rooted in control, not security.
