Has anyone gotten a game or account ban using Linux with Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher? (lemmy.world)

I built a PC for the family yesterday, and I'm hoping to get away with going 100% Linux. What makes me a little nervous is that Epic Games, GOG, battle.net, EA store, etc don't officially support Linux. If I try using Lutris, or Heroic Games Launcher, or something similar to use those platforms, is there a chance my account will get banned? I've seen some stories about people getting banned from Apex Legends using Linux, but since I don't play that one I'm not too concerned about it.

Has anyone had a bad experience?

A few years ago I was caught up in an Overwatch 1 ban wave. The ban happened while in a match and support didn't help. After a few days Blizzard automatically reverted those false Linux bans without any public notice. Iirc this was the second ban wave where Linux were banned and later unbanned in Overwatch.
