Got greeted with this message today. I've been playing Apex on linux for more than a year. Not sure if this could be related? Is this just me?
I've contested the ban and I'm currently waiting for a response from ea support.
UPDATE : Got an email response from EA today. It's basically a generic message saying that my account was associated with "cheating practices" and so they will not remove the ban.
This is absolutely fucking ridiculous! I've been playing this game since 2020 and have 3K+ hours on record, now this shit happens and there's no recourse ? Fuck this company.
Exactly. It’s insane how moronic EA or other publishers are that think “oh they’re on Linux they must be hacking/cheating our game.”
I would wager they have never touched Linux in their life.
Its probably the fact a significant amount of cheaters use linux, but the overall market of players use linux... so nuking all linux players is harmless to their bottom line.
Market share is growing with the existence of Proton and the incoming presence of Microsoft Recall. I will be deleting my Windows OS when they do that. Dual booting the same files didn’t work so I never made the full switch but I only use Windows for gaming
