    In our efforts to combat cheating in Apex, we’ve identified Linux OS as being a path for a variety of impactful exploits and cheats. As a result, we’ve decided to block Linux OS access to the game.

    Translation: Software development is hard and we would rather spend our time maximizing in-game transactions.

    To be fair, they’ve given a relatively technical and honest explanation as to why they’ve made this decision.

      No they really haven’t. They’ve given no numbers to quantify the problem.

      This reads like “we don’t know if they are cheating, it’s hard to tell, and it’s getting harder to tell, so we’re just done.”

      This reeks of a decision based on a feeling about the direction of cheating vs a significant move to reduce cheating.
