@FlyingPaperPlane well i care lol. i want everyone to be unbanned as it puts a bad taste in lots of people mouths about linux gaming. i run a linux channel and people in the comments are literally asking if they will get banned for playing it on linux and i dont know what to tell them. i cant be 100% certain that they wont get banned anymore because of dev studios like respawn making these changes that get people banned for just playing the game.

@PolluxAUthanks, appreciated!

Played Apex Legends on ProtonGE without a ban for 10 months straight until march of this year. Then got unbanned again along with everyone, only to get banned again 2 months later. It happened while I opened my Keyboard Utility, its basically an appimage of a webapp, I didn't know it could eventually get me banned or break s.th.

I had a good time playing on linux and I will always remember that. discord overlay didn't work, nvidia reflex didn't work, shadowplay was nonexistent but it was fun, responsive and I enjoyed editing the way I like it.
