If I played any Rockstar games, I’d be unhappy with their new anti-cheat too, since it needlessly blocks linux, but this isn’t the way this should be protested. If anything, this probably validates their decision.

The way this should be protested is to just stop playing. Stop giving them money. Stop boosting their month active user numbers that they can flaunt to investors. Hit them financially, since it’s the only hit they really care about. There’s a sea of other high-quality games you can play instead.

Comet has a list of supported requests on their github readme, and at least the achievement requests seem to be present. I’m not sure if Heroic utilizes them though

One of my main tools has been SteamDB’s instant search - it’s basically a giant list of all steam games, sorted by review score, with a TON of different filters you can apply. Looking specifically for something released this year? You can filter for it. Looking specifically for a co-op action shooter, or a singleplayer 2d platformer? You can filter for those too. Wanting to exclude early access games or exclude games with a min/max number of reviews? You can do that too. Very handy tool

Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed Collection is a blast if you’re okay with a kart racer.

Flatout 2 is the OG combat racer.

If you’re looking for a true “racing sim” type game I would probably recommend one of the Assetto Corsa games, either the original or competizione.

CarX Drift Racing Online is probably not what you expect, but is really fun. Not exactly a traditional “racing” game because you don’t compete for time, but rather compete for “drift points,” with longer/wider drifts getting more score. It has a surprisingly thorough singleplayer mode, and the multiplayer is relatively relaxed. Multiplayer is setup in an open-world style; you join a big lobby and can just drive around with friends or randoms without actually competing for anything, although people in each lobby can start competitions that everyone else can opt-in to. The main reason I’m recommending it is it has very thorough car customization and is a chill, non-competitive driving game, whether that be singleplayer or multiplayer.

Unfortunately they block old reddit for VPN users now

The clips of the hacks being installed/activated are pretty crazy:

• Genburten hacked (and Zer0’s POV)
• ImperialHal hacked

Note that the title has been edited: we do NOT know if this was EAC yet. The article says it “may have been.” EAC has claimed it wasn’t them (but of course they’re going to claim that). Instead, it could have been Apex’s source engine. Or, it could have been two individually compromised machines from software completely unrelated to Apex; remember, these are two high-profile targets, after all. We just have to wait and see what the real cause was. Regardless, I wouldn’t play Apex for at least the next day or two, just to be safe.
