I'm torn. It's a pretty good thing that they feel compelled to do this, and I will have acces to all the free shit I claimed.
But I am just past the stage of really wanting this.
The one Epic game of mine that won't play on Linux in Heroic is Fortnite. So you've had the option for a few years.
I have my doubts that EAC will work on Linux, and if it did, I wonder how many of us would accept their spyware/malware on our machines.
EAC can work on linux already. Dev just choose not to opt in to it because I think it offer less anticheat protection
It does offer less protection. U dont have kernel access, ring 0 how it s called on windows. Apex was availlable under linux and cheater start identifying their system as linux so the protection were less agressive. At the end apex drop the support
Use it, like it, or hate it, I don't know why you wouldn't be in favor of almost everything getting Linux support.
Yea, I think they're grasping at straws and doing anything that they can to get more people to use Epic.
