Funnily enough the one exception to this rule that I probably would have made was BF6 but they forced me to sit this one out by barring Linux users 🤷‍♂️ So I'm playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.

For some good battlefield alternatives that run great on Linux check out ->

I tried downloading the BF6 free demo and I had to jump through a bunch of hoops trying to get it to run just to find that because the last time I used my EA account was a decade ago, my Steam account is banned from their servers until I go through customer support to unlock it.

And that last bit is wild because the one that doesn't require Windows for PC gamers is the one owned by Microsoft.

I'm the same way. I might have got BF6, I played the beta and fell in love cause it felt like BC2 which was my favorite BF game.

Sadly the hoops I had to jump through to even get it to work on a windows system, let alone getting it to work on my Debian system, combined with the price tag was enough to hard push me away from buying it.

It's a shame because the game was stupid levels of fun, and felt organic. They just are out-casting their userbase by their decisions to block Non-Windows systems.

most relatable thing I've heard all day 😂

Outer Worlds 2

I'm pretty sure Obsidian Entertainment qualifies as AAA.
