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.

    Unfortunately people like that tend to be on the less logical side of things, in addition they also tend to believe themselves to be superior to others, so it’s unlikely he’ll actually do any research on that matter. It’s likely that for him in gaming communities in the past this approach has worked, as those communities typically do not challenge baseless accusations or logical fallacies, not how it works in intelligent communities though, maybe he will learn it eventually, though in my experience on Reddit people like that have no restraint or filter whatsoever, they only stop once they have been hit with the ban hammer.

      They certainly are in that less logical camp, that’s for sure. And you’re right, they have not and will not learn anything from this instance, or similar ones, going forward.
