skate. from developer Full Circle and Electronic Arts (EA) is about to enter Early Access, and due to the anti-cheat there's no support for Linux / Steam Deck.
Don’t expect it to ever be supported either, not at least until the day Linux as a platform grows to a point where EA can’t ignore it by blocking it like they also do for Apex Legends, Battlefield and more.
I was wondering why it won’t support Linux and the answer is anti cheat. Having played skate 1 and 3, I wondered why an anti cheat was needed. Apparently it’s an online game.
I have never played skate online before. Why would I want to play online over like just skating obstacles by myself? I’d rather have a skate able game in my pocket without multiplayer than multiplayer

I forgot why I stopped playing Apex Legends.

Full circle, I have confirmed that I will not be supporting EA’s Skate
Fortunately, I don’t care. I haven’t bought an EA game since maybe 2010-ish and I have no plans to do so.
I boycotted back then and am happy to say I’ve stayed with it. Fuck EA.
How many “not buying it” comments will this post get before someone realizes it’s a free game?
“free”
They could pay me and I still wouldn’t take it.
To be fair, they’re still not buying it
not playing it, we have skater xl at home
Still demands saying.
So they only address legacy gaming setups?
I’ve been playing the Tony Hawk remastered to be fun as an alternative.
Can you finally post a gamingonlinux link without that guy’s superfan trying to conduct an entire exposé?
