Linux players getting banned
Edit: Looks like they fixed the issue causing the bans. Edit 2: EA is reversing bans and sending out emails letting you know. Yay! Hello, I believe myself and a few others got banned for just playi...
So an update to my original post: The ban finally got synced (but only about 12+ hours after I got the ban from the Apex game itself, thanks EA/Respawn), and I got a reply from the contact support.
Sadly it seems just like everyone who've tried, I got the same message that "we did a full investigation and determined that we took correct action in accordance w/ EA policies and procedures". The only "explanation" that they gave is repeating the ToS section 6 of what is considered "breaking our rules", as seen in screenshot. But, just like everyone in this thread, I didn't even use any kind of mods/external software when I'm playing to begin with, just a casual play session of the game w/ my friend.
Needless to say I'm flabbergasted. No, I'm not mad, just VERY Disappointed with this, and especially sad for y'all w/ >1k+ hours in the game w/ heirloom who've also gotten a similar ban treatment, just cuz we chose to game from Linux.
I'll be posting this update on the Reddit thread too, but needless to say this is a very bad look for Steam Deck & Linux users who's at a high-risk of getting banned with such damning precedent.
Thanks I guess Respawn, sincerely, a bitter fan that supported you from the first (yes FIRST) OG Titanfall.
