Huge if it actually comes through. This could move some of my friends over for battlefield and sports games.

OR "The Microsoft ROG handheld isn't doing as well as we hoped and we REALLY need to get back on the steamdeck"

If true expect announcements for Apex Legends, BF, etc where they suddenly role back on the claim that the majority of cheaters are on Linux. I guarantee it.

People still play EA games?

This would be huge for me. BF6 is the only game that has me keeping a windows partition.

A sign, perhaps, that business types see Linux as more than a novelty market demographic in the coming years.

Worst case scenario: they develop the Javelin anti-cheat as a DKMS module which has to be loaded on boot, kinda like Riot Games' Vanguard works
