Send them the GDPR horror letter

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives individuals the right to ask for their data to be deleted and organisations do have an obligation to do so, except in the following cases:
- the personal data your company/organisation holds is needed to exercise the right of freedom of expression;
- there is a legal obligation to keep that data;
- for reasons of public interest (for example public health, scientific, statistical or historical research purposes).

It’s also worth giving them the benefit of a doubt. It might be just a bug or an oversight.
I don’t see how player data even would be worth risking GDPR fines. But at least you don’t have to worry about it.
You can’t delete your account if you’re banned? Seems a bit iffy.

A GDPR request could accomplish that easily. They will obviously need to keep some amount of information so you just can’t make a new account.

How long ago did you contact them? If they haven’t done what you asked within 30 days*, you should report it to your country’s data protection agency. I also recommend that you inform EA that you are willing to do that, if they are not cooperating.
*In some cases they can extend the deadline a bit, but in general it’s 30 days.
Breaking: Shit company with shit games using shit strategies is treating their customers like shit. What a surprise.
EA was cool 30 years ago, but since then it turned into liquid shit.
It is still a downgrade of Titanfall.
Knowing Titanfall 3 died for this is heartbreaking
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As a little PSA word of warning, it seems EA / Respawn have begun another little ban wave or they’ve tweaked something in their anti-cheat that Linux / Steam Deck players are getting caught in for Apex Legends.
This issue happened back in late February into early March this year, with a mixture of mostly desktop Linux players with a few who played on Steam Deck getting banned from Apex Legends.
Various reports have begun appearing across Reddit and a fresh post on the EA Forum with users detailing their bans.
Apex Legends is currently Steam Deck Verified and their Easy Anti-Cheat is supposed to be supported on Linux, so hopefully the bans will once again be overturned.
When you play games with anti-cheat regardless of the support status on Steam Deck and desktop Linux, there’s always the chance even if you’re a legitimate player that you’ll somehow get caught up in a ban wave after doing nothing wrong.
They’ve also merged the original and new forum posts into one and the amount of people mentioning they’ve been banned continues to grow.
The original article contains 486 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Too many words, TL;DR pls?
It seems EA / Respawn have begun another little ban wave. Linux / Steam Deck players are getting caught in it. Hopefully the bans will once again be overturned.
Thanks! Good human!
Bad bot
Seems like EA doesn’t want to make games anymore. Folks should oblige them.
You have to admire EA’s strategy. They have the official chick game, The Sims. Then they’ve got all the sports games; pretty much any national or international sports ball league has a perpetual contract with them, and sports bros who play Madden or FIFA just…can’t understand not buying sports branded stuff. They’re more secure in their market than Gold Bond Foot Powder.
What do you mean “chick game” :(
Over 60% of players of The Sims are women aged 18-24. Only 48% of women in the United States will claim to have ever played a video game in their lives and only 6% call themselves a “gamer.” I can’t think of an original IP game franchise more successful than The Sims in terms of revenue or copies sold that can claim a female supermajority audience.
It is the official game of chicks.
I wonder what are the percentage of women of any age for The Sims, if it’s like 70% or 80% or higher lol
That’s rOSist… Have they indicated specifically which point of ToS was broken? Did they give any details?
It seems like there’s a glitch somewhere in their system that is causing these accounts to be inappropriately flagged. EA has enabled EAC support for Linux, so there’s no ToS reason why playing on Linux would get you banned. If they didn’t want Linux players, they could have just disabled the Linux version of EAC.
Fuck EA. UwU
EA: notices ur OS
Bro, Apex Legends is a shit game. They’re doing you a favor.
My friend and I tried playing it a few times, and the same thing would happen every time: we’d find nobody until its like 5ish groups remaining, and then get beamed before we knew where it came from. It’s probably a skill issue, same thing happened in Warzone except earlier in the game, but we ended up dropping it anyway. Never happens in any other game though.
play stupid games, win stupid prizes
