List of EA anti-cheat games: https://steamdb.info/tech/AntiCheat/EA_AntiCheat/

"Linux gaming is just getting better" (I'd hope so.. imagine if any system didn't expand and improve after release). -But this is stepping backwards.

Sure, it's 'just a screenshot' with an ambiguous error, so if you want more details: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1h8fogf/ea_anti_cheat_finally_actively_blocking_vms_pcie/

You'll find hate in that thread, but afaik, EA NEVER listed Linux as a supported OS. Linux will likewise shrug blame as there is no warranty. -It all rests solely on the user that chooses to use a hacked together hobbyist OS. (And fwiw; you can still play in Windows).
