Surprising to see after the CrowdStrike debacle.

Aaaa fuck off I still play BF1 and doubt I'll get an origin refund after 400hours gameplay

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

whether you're right or not, it's just so frustrating to imagine that something you may have been playing for another hundreds of hours is just totally unaccesible from now on... so frustrating and so unfair... Definitely worthy of a refund in my book.

Yeah, you won't. Best you can do is complain, but they won't listen. It's similar to if the game went offline. You are not promised a refund for that.

Oh no....

..........Anyway......

I mean, personal opinion here, no one should be giving EA money anyway....

Im so happy for the new game Delta Force which is in open beta right now and going to be a BF killer. EA and Dice can go to hell!

Have they stated that they're going to support Linux or at least Proton/Wine? I did a quick search on the game's Steam forum and it sounded like it doesn't work currently.

It sounds like they're using Anti-Cheat Expert, which is some Chinese AC. It doesn't support Linux and there isn't an existing wine module to support it, like there is for Battle Eye and EAC. So no, it won't work at least for the moment.

My EA account was hijacked months ago, I couldn't get it back. Now learning that even if I had it back I wouldn't play BF1, definetly makes it less of a pain.

Tho still sucks for its enjoyers.

Huh I guess I should ask for a refund

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Is this like a remastered original or did they name a new game 1?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I've had EA blocked on Steam for YEARS!

Best decision I've ever made when it comes to gaming.

How can I block a publisher/developer on Steam?

Go to their steam page and click the ellipses next to their name.
