Tin foil hat time but I said last year on Mastodon that the reason EA was killing games like Apex and Battlefield for Linux was that soon Microsoft was going to announce their own handheld and EA has close ties with MS due to EA Play on Gamepass for example. Sure enough less than a year later Microsoft announces their Xbox Handheld with Asus and guess which games will work on that.
Basically it’ll be “you want to play Madden and Battlefield on a handheld? well don’t buy the SteamDeck, get this Xbox Handheld instead!”
I was hoping that steam deck would get some love. Those games are a pain but I have friends who play it.
I have a windows VM but ea cheat doesn’t lile vms either
