🐧💥 Linux vs. EA: Warum ich Battlefield 6 in die Tonne trete und wieder BF4 zocke!
Hand aufs Herz: Nervt euch die aktuelle Gängelung durch EA bei Battlefield 6 auch so extrem?
https://youtube.com/live/hJxKu-xyLYw?feature=share
Stattdessen habe ich Battlefield 4 auf Linux ausprobiert – und was soll ich sagen? Ich bin absolut begeistert! 😍 Es läuft nicht nur perfekt (mit proton-ge-custom), sondern macht auch viel mehr Spaß.
Warum BF4 für mich gerade der absolute Gewinner ist:
Taktisches, entschleunigtes Gameplay: Kein Hektik-Overkill wie in BF6, sondern echtes Battlefield-Feeling.
Massive Maps: Endlich wieder die großen Karten, die die Community immer wollte!
Perfekte Linux-Performance: Installiert, gestartet, läuft. Ein Traum!
🔥 Unschlagbarer Deal: Aktuell gibt es die Battlefield 4 Premium Edition für nur 2 € im Steam Store! Da bekommt ihr alle Add-ons für den Preis eines Kaffees. Bequemer Start direkt über Steam inklusive. Ein absoluter No-Brainer für jeden Linux-Gamer!
Haut rein, wir sehen uns auf dem Schlachtfeld! 👊

EA Javelin Anticheat job listing mentions future support for Linux and Proton https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/ea-javelin-anticheat-job-listing-mentions-future-support-for-linux-and-proton/
EA appears to be looking for someone to help their porting efforts of their anti-cheat solution, Javelin, to ARM64 with potential support for Linux/Proton mentioned as well.
Whether or not you play their games, this is excellent news as it may be the beginning of a trend, doubtlessly intended to target Valve's upcoming Steam Machine hardware.

@yazumo There's a reason why #Underground2 #MostWanted and #Carbon are regarded as the peak trilogy and got #remastered by the #community with extensive #mods, because #EA won't (most likely due to #licensing & associated costs)…
- They would've to basically redo most of the game to modern spec.
- Pretty shure they'd have to renegotiate licenses if not swap entire brands and models of cars.
- Certainly they'll have to pay a pretty premium if they want to relicense the original songs used ingame.
Thus it'll be really hard to justify the cost.
- It's similar to #delistings of #Games like Driver: San Francisco.
Obviously the #zeebo flopped, espechally due to #Qualcomm's #BREW #OS ¹ which is basically '#JavaMobile but worse in order to circumvent #SoftwarePatents' whilst also having dogshit performance and being hard to develop for or even port games to, making it even worse than #Gizmondo or #NGage which used #J2ME.
- Making the #OUYA look like a piece of perfection in comparison, because that #cube didn't cost 20x more to port games to but merely demanded the (OUYA-exclusive) #GameController #API (which predates the later #Android-Standardized one!) to be supported, which is closer to a #patch than a #redevelopment!
But even in a starved market like #Brazil most households weren't gonna dump over 1 month minimum wage on an aging #3G-#Cellphone with composite video and 6-button #USB #controllers.
- Also who thought that announcing a price cut before launch was a good idea in a time the "Osbourne Effect" was already well known?
So yeah, blame Qualcomm for this shitshow...
- To add insult to injury, #piracy on it is rampant... and the #PS2 whipped it's ass around town cuz it even as #import #console like the #PlayStation2 could shaft them in spite of #tariffs because by that point #Sony closed their books on that platform and didn't give a fuck about #piracy, only allowing pre-agreed licensees like #EA to still shove out their games for it.
And lets be honest, #Edutainment is not a cash cow because in places like #Mexico it's way easier to get even cheaper #PC|s due to #NAFTA #FreeTrade (i.e. all the stuff #refurbishers couldn't sell in the #USA anymore got offered there before being sold further south...
- Really sad, cuz if the Zeebo was like a €50 box, it could've been a smash hit, so it died due to lack of resources...
Needless to say the Zeebo is the strongest argument for #StopKillingGames as these devices are nearly useless these days and piracy is the only way to get / change games on it and play them these days.
- Also respect to Derek from #SSFF for playing the entire Zeebo catalogue tho there's nothing to ride home about...
Nowadays the nieche of the zeebo is served by cheap #PCs for #gaming even cheaper #Android devices and (aside from few stores like #Steam that managed to upstell a #DRM as a #feature), rampant #piracy to the point that #MobileGaming outside of #iOS is basically dead unless we account #PayToLoose #Shovelware of the "#DisguisedGambingGame" kind as "#Gaming" which is an insult even for #gambling, because there at least in theory, with a honest operator the chance of winning is greater than zero (tho I'd still disrecommend it because no gambling game is *"fair" beyond the theoretical chance of winning by the rules)...
If you've ever worked on technological systems, you know that building a complex system on top of massive datasets is one of the slowest tasks there is.
They're literally advocating for ineffective decelerationism.

One thing that stood out for me, which hadn't really sunk in quite the same way for me before: longtermists cite things like runaway #AI and bio-engineered pathogens as so-called "existential risks" that might cause human extinction, but they downplay environmental degradation as a non-existential risk. Yet, experience is the reverse of this: we have exactly zero examples of AI causing the extinction of a species and few/zero examples of a bio-engineered pathogen causing a species extinction (1), whereas we have piles and piles of examples of species extinctions caused by environmental changes. In fact, we have loads of extinctions we ourselves caused via our alterations of Earth's environment in only the last few decades! We don't even have to resort to the fossil record, which includes many more examples, to make the case; we can look at recent, carefully-documented studies using modern techniques.
Of the many flaws with #longtermism, which the essay goes to pains to spell out, this one really nags at me. Longtermism being a goofy worldview held by wealthy and powerful people is concerning enough; the fact that its primary proponents say things running directly opposite to reality makes it very dangerous, in my view. I think this is a tell.

(1) I'm hedging there because I am not knowledgeable enough to say with certainty whether anyone's ever engineered a pathogen that did cause an extinction event. I can't imagine something like this happening often if it has, though.
