Full Circle / EA...

And that is the moment where I usually stop reading 🤣

This will have no impact on my permanent boycott of EA products.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

I play their free games because i assume it costs them money for the license and every time I download something from their servers.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

They sell the data collected from your activity to data brokers and in multiplayer games you serve as opponent or ally to paying customers.

If you want to boycott them, avoid them. If you want to play the games that's fine, just be honest to yourself.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

I just treat all of their offerings, regardless of cost, as polonium.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago

You suppose they're doing it out of love of the game?

Them not supporting Linux makes it easy for me to maintain my personal ban on EnshitificationAmalgamated.

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 25 points 17 hours ago

Well and I don't support EA, that closes the circle

No tux, no bux

That's the only language the parasite understands.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago

Necessary but not sufficient.

This is the only thing EA has released in years I was interested in. Wasn’t going to buy it anyways, and now I can’t play it even if I wanted to. I’ll just stick to session and skater XL if I want the skate experience.

Tony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 1 + 2 works well on Linux too

[–] mugita_sokiovt@discuss.online 5 points 13 hours ago

I guess Javeleshit is in the skate reboot as well. Typical EA.

Oh, that's a shame. My desire to try out Bazzite outweighs my desire to play this game, though.

If it's proton compatible, it might still be possible to play on something beefier than a steam deck, maybe?

Unfortunately, the issue is with the kernel-level EA Javelin anticheat.

[–] monogram@feddit.nl 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Why do you need a kernel anti cheat for a scateboard game?

[–] CubitOom 6 points 5 hours ago
[–] Junkers_Klunker@feddit.dk 5 points 17 hours ago

Bazzite is great, EA not so much.

[–] moistracoon@lemmy.zip 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I would gladly deal with cheaters over this BS. How are they putting it on android and iOS? What’s the excuse there?

[–] cm0002@piefed.world 11 points 16 hours ago

What’s the excuse there?

Same thing as always, money

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Skate 3 works in xenia to scratch the itch.

[–] InvestBurnout@fedia.io 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

And it also works in RPCS3!

[–] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Do you know which of those two is the most accurate? I kinda want to play skate 3 now lol

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I have played Kingdom Hearts and Persona 4 on RPCS3 before, with no issue.
