EA needed a scapegoat it seems

While I appreciate that cheating is a problem in most games, I still think these Linux ban waves are just the companies trying to appear to the complaining playerbase that they're putting effort into a solution even though it won't make a big difference.

Apex was one or the earliest games to support competitive multiplayer on Linux. While I hate EA for a lot of reasons, I couldn't have fully switched to Linux years ago if Apex wasn't playable because all the other games I played were and still aren't.
