EA is permanently banning Linux players on Battlefield V

Apex Legends, a property from Respawn Entertainment though technically under the EA/Origin umbrella, has a different approach on cheating by using a combination of deep learning from previous matches and shadow-banning cheaters to play among themselves. I've yet to encounter identifiable cheating since the start of the second season (mid 2019)

I don’t know what level you’re playing at, but at the Diamond+ level, I run into cheaters almost every night. They’re blatant and 30s of spectating will prove that. I also watch a lot of pro streams and they have the same experience.

I like the idea of cheaters raging because they play against each other (i guess it could be legit competition lol).

But works only if all the gaming is centralized. We loose the beauty of self-host games which is how some of the games survived more than decade.

I was banned from Apex Legends because I was playing it via Steam Remote Play.

I raised a ticket with EA explaining that I was using Remote Play but they upheld the ban.
