I don't want EA games on Linux. They can stay on Windows for all that I care.

I'm looking forward to it. Not because I will buy more EA games, but because it will remove one of the few barriers left for even wider Linux adoption.

I have EA added to ignore list, and i want block list to completely remove it

Do you mean you want the ability to block any post that contains "EA" in the title? I use Voyager for Lemmy, it lets you define a list of blocked keywords.

I want to disable EA in Steam store page. Do not see them again ever, even if they'll start to pay for using their games. Now that "ignore" works not good - ignored Ubisoft still on top of the page because of deal.

I take it you also want users to stay on Windows.

Normal people don't care which OS others use.

I think most linux users do, depending on what you mean by caring: more adoption would be better for software support and consumers in general.

But what think is actually weird is to hope for the opposite and to care about that people cannot play a game on linux. Nobody will be forced to play EA games.
