You could always… you know… buy either a “work-only” PC (something like a Orange pi 5 max) or a “Windows PC” to play these games?
t. Got three “computers” with different functions and I’m about to have a 4th one.
Simple solution. Don’t buy those games.
Stop giving EA money. It’s not that hard. I haven’t given them money for 10 years.
If a company says it doesn’t want my money, I am happy to oblige.
You can’t solve cheating on the client.
There absolutely is, it just takes effort. Many MMOs do this, and as a result almost all of them are playable on linux.
Solving it on the client is literally impossible, solving it on the server is difficult and could be impossible, big difference.
It’s like someone trying to send a car to the moon by pulling the steering wheel. It’s impossible, the fact that building a rocket is hard or that you don’t know how to do it or that it could fail has no bearing on the fact that trying to pull the steering wheel on a car is definitely the wrong way to go about it.
In the same manner solving cheating on the client is the same kind of impossible, anyone defending it sounds like a flat-earther to anyone with the basic knowledge of client/server architecture.
Exactly. But it’s the cheapest solution for the studio/publisher and most gamers blindly accept it, with some even actively defending the practice.
It is also insecure with possiblity to crash your computer, the only advantage is that it is cheap.
