@gamingonlinux Doesn't it also force secure boot to be enabled on windows?
Can’t wait for the security vulnerabilities this rootkit’s gonna have.
@gamingonlinux more like bad news for EA. Less sales for them. Haha.

@naopb @gamingonlinux Average users don't care, even people criticize and deem EA as one of the worst company or in stagnant or greedy as f**k; many people play popular multiplayer games or use centralized social medias because their friends, family, celebrities,... use.

More like it will hurt #SteamDeck and #Linux gaming though, people are too dumb to understand why this is harmful and all the purists and advocates' rants.

@gamingonlinux EA, speedrunning it's way to a forgotten about footnote in PC history...
