nearly daily Apex player moving to Linux full time again now that many more games work with it (knowing Apex no longer works). It will suck, but fuck microsoft and good riddance EA.
Even before then, people were up in arms about several changes.
Me and one friend used to play regularly, but they just straight up removed duos for almost a year. Trying to integrate a random third player into our teamwork just didn’t work, so we stopped playing.
By the time they added duos back, we’d lost interest.
They made several changes like that, and I’m fairly certain hundreds of thousands of players felt burned in similar ways. You can’t just “temporarily” remove the reason your players stick around, and expect them to stick around.
Blocking Linux probably didn’t help those numbers

My friends and I used to do weekly apex nights.
Then they blocked linux. My desktop runs fedora and my other friend ran a steam deck. Ended up moving to Helldivers and DRG.
We played Apex for years. Oh well.

I doubt it made much of a dent. I’m a Linux user for >15 years now.
