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.

    I really love how various services nowadays will just ban you without providing any context why you were banned.

    Probably half of the time I am banned I have no idea which rule I violated, which makes me more likely to violate it again, when I wait till I am unbanned or create another account.

      At least when it comes to games, they likely don’t want to disclose to potential cheaters how they detected them.

      It’s also a support burden to look into every case of automated bans.

          Yeah, I’m guessing there are many reasons that they don’t disclose that.

      I did try to create a new account, but it’s really annoying because my original EA account is linked to my steam account, and cannot be unlinked. So I would need another steam account as well. Unless I can figure out a way to play without steam, which I’m not sure how to do because of… you guessed it, fucking anti-cheat.
