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.
Cheaters make appeal request all the time. I admin for some game servers and never seen a vpn cause a false positive. As a matter of fact most cheaters use vpns to try and play on servers that dont allow vac bans by purchased/stolen/newsteam accounts. Only you and god know the truth but Im going off experience.
Look buddy, I know that using circular logic to try and presume and decide that someone is a cheater may fly on Steamcommunity, 4chan, and kiwifarms but it doesn't fly here on Lemmy, so while such an argument might get people to nod their heads on those places, it's not going to work out here.
The people here are technically savvy, and also privy to many of the deceptive and manipulative tactics used by people like you to foster ill will against other players who in reality didn't do anything wrong.
How exactly does one prove a negative? Juggling fallacies isn't a good look, my friend.
You defend cheaters blind you aint my friend. The only fallacy here is the OP was banned for no reason. Didu nuffin!
Lmao you can't be real. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
This person is for sure a troll, or a corporate shill. Either way not someone who has any credibility at all.
News flash you alone doesn't mean everyone. I mean the ego you gotta have to think that way….
The fact that you're getting railed here with your top comment sitting comfortably at a score of -26 says that people here aren't agreeing with you. That they aren't believing or listening to your takes as much as you'd wish they were. News flash, Lemmy doesn't handle people simping or siding with known malicious corporations very well. It may fly on Reddit and especially Steam community but it doesn't here.
So, you think 26 cheaters downvoting me is everyone? I still think its that EGO...
A. Proton B. Linux C. EA D. All of the above
Simple multiple choice.. you can also choose more than one if you like. Now stop bullshitting and stand behind what you spew!
I still think you are a bad faith troll who uses logical fallacies (circular logic, strawman, ad-hominem) to justify your arguments and baselessly accuses anyone who disagrees with you of being a cheater. That opinions like these do not do well on Lemmy due to the environment here. But you can believe whatever you want to believe. What do you think is more likely, that every single person who ever disagrees with you is a cheater, or that you made bad arguments and have bad takes which people disagree with you on?
It was a simple a b c and you failed. You blamed all these things and now you back tracking????
You already got your answer in the other comment, I don't need to go along with your stupid games. You seem to have some delusion that you are in charge here or that people have to play by your rules. I'm not going to stop calling you out on your bullshit just because you try to make answering you a silly game and expect us to play by your rules.
Love the back tracking… next time think before you talk.
Ohh its real like the OP ban!
