EA seem almost malicious the way they're going against the tide of developers supporting Steam Deck / Proton. Online shooters is one thing, but this is a fucking skateboarding game.
Full Circle / EA confirm again that skate. will not support Linux, Steam Deck or macOS

WRC24 worked great under Linux for quite a while, then they released their anti-cheat update, blocking any Linux users on Proton. Then they abruptly just stopped working on WRC altogether. So no chance ever of playing WRC on Linux.
So, fuck EA and their bullshit.

Yes. To be fair, free is too high of a price to add an EA game to my Steam collection, to the distaste goes in both directions in some cases.

Oh no! Anyway.

Yeah they don’t want their precious anti-cheat to be tampered with… to protect their microtransactions, which is the real reason they are even making this game in the first place. To make it a vaguely skateboard themed Fortnite skin selling money printer.

Just imagine if they had ran with a Bam Marjera (sp?) skateboard series. I wonder how fast it would have turned into microhell transactions.

I migrated to Linux last week. I found out that Rocket League was unsupported on Linux. So I went to Steam and enabled Proton compatibility for the game, and ran the Windows version with no issues.

They stopped working on the Linux version of rocket league years ago. But yes it works great under proton.
