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.
Yeah ofc cheaters don't admit it. That doesn't mean anyone accused of cheating is a cheater.
That "study" you are quoting is a survey from irdeto, owner of denuvo. And while skimming it I can't even find the claim that 57% are using cheats.
A study from irdeto? That seems like something totally reputable and not at all biased or with fudged information at all /s Yeah obviously not, this company is well known for lots of sleazy practices, as are a majority of DRM companies, it's how they sell their products. The upshot is it means it's very hard if not impossible to trust them when they create ""studies"".
Ever heard of EFT? Cause thats cheater central with probably close to 70% of gamers using cheats.
He didn't get accused he was banned ffs! There is a big difference. Most games catch about 30% of the cheaters but those are the one caught, there are a ton of cheaters in EFT who use ESP but call out to their team mates who are not using ESP to make the kill. Instead of just getting gud!
