Blocking Linux probably didn’t help those numbers

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.

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.

How's Helldivers on Fedora?

Works well! No crashes or anything.

I think I got more fps on windows but I haven't really spent much time tweaking and I don't have actual measurements so it could just be anecdotal.

EDIT: I use Proton + Steam to play.

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

Did they check between the couch cushions? That's usually where I find the remote when I lose it.

Maybe they can move into Titanfall 3

[-] swampdownloader@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 months ago

that’s sad. The game has awesome movement unlike any other. But if they don’t innovate, they will fade into obscurity. The bean counters at EA have wreaked havoc upon a sick game.

Check out The Finals! It has a lot of similar movement abilities. The maps are designed with verticality and fast traversal in mind, so it may scratch that itch for you.

Whenever this happens, people attribute it to some change or another, but I'm pretty sure it's basically just inevitable. If the company's income stream didn't depend on an ever-present player base, I'd even say it's normal and healthy.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Great, now make Titanfall 3.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

I seriously doubt they can make a game better than Titanfall 2 at this point

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Then just rerelease Titanfall 2

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

With more maps and maybe a few new hero titans

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Please don't give EA more ideas to rip off their fan base
