Yeah I don't really understand why people care so much. If you don't like game studios doing stuff like this, just don't play their games. There are plenty of games out there with great Linux support you can play instead.

The games are good, but studios are often doing trashy moves.

Apex was one of the few top-tier online shooters that flawlessly worked on Linux out of the box. And now the dedicated Linux userbase is here, but the game is not, because apparently Respawn doesn't care.
