If you accidentally ban linux users in three[1] different[2] banwaves[3], then linux was only halfway supported in the first place, even if they overturned (almost) all of those bans.

I think the real reason they did it was EA’s financial situation. Since money is tight, the amount of resources they were willing to put into real linux anti-cheat probably dropped to “none at all,” and now we’re here. Otherwise other cheater-prone games like Counter Strike, Overwatch, Halo, The Finals, DayZ, Hunt Showdown, etc would have probably dropped/blocked linux by now too.

Doesn’t the “EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices” filter in uBlock’s settings do the same thing as IDCAC / consent-o-matic?

You could probably play the SCS Truck Simulator games basically indefinitely.

Vampire Survivors is an absurdly addicting Deck game, and can be considered grindy if you go for the eggs late-game.

Deep Rock Galactic is a good one too, if you’re okay with no aim assist and playing solo or with randoms.
