What part of it baffles you? I don’t like it either, but in order for them to get the same level of security on Linux that they do on Windows, they’d have to do all kinds of work embedding their anti cheat in the kernel. I don’t know if the license of the kernel even allows for that, but good luck getting Linux users to agree to knowingly installing a rootkit to play a video game.
What baffles me is how they intentionally make their games unplayable on Linux, and the same can be said about EA.
