EA Javelin Anticheat job listing mentions future support for Linux and Proton (www.gamingonlinux.com)

One big issue with Linux / SteamOS gaming is a lack of anti-cheat support, and it seems Electronic Arts (EA) have future plans for supporting the platform.

Currently, EA's own Javelin Anticheat does not support Linux platforms at all. As a result games like Battlefield, EA SPORTS FC and various others simply don't work. That may change in future though, especially with the rise of SteamOS / Steam Deck and the future Steam Machine.

As much as i am happy for those Gamrs that rely on ANti Cheat Games also being able to switch to Linux i also wanna puke my Guts out as i really hate Anti Cheat overall -.-
Anti Cheat has been and always will be the Enemy of Gamers and Gaming as whole >.>
