Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale game “Apex Legends” recently announced its hiatus Linux operating systemsupport, which includes Steam Deck, which also uses the system. The main reason is the plug-in problem.
“Apex Legends” officials mentioned in the news that they discovered that the Linux operating system has become a number of loopholes that affect the game experience, as well as a way to open cheats. This will also affect Linux-based SteamOS on Steam Deck, as officials admit that they currently have no way to differentiate between Steam Deck hardware or plug-in software disguised as Steam Deck.
Although this end of support may only affect a small number of Apex players, they still believe that this decision can effectively reduce cheating in the game.
He went on to explain that the openness of the Linux system is very attractive to hackers and plug-in developers. In addition, it is more difficult to find plug-in software on Linux, and data shows that their growth rate also requires the team to spend a lot of effort on the rather specific platform this. There are also cheats that mimic Windows plug-in software, making it difficult to detect and prevent.
In addition to stopping support for Linux, Respawn continues to work hard on other anti-cheating efforts to let everyone report cheaters.
This move was also protested by many players on Linux, causing the “Apex Legends” Steam store page to be plagued with negative reviews of the Windows version.
