Is there any more details than a couple people being banned complaining in a forum post? Cause this looks like textbook posts by people who were caught cheating.



It's probably similar to Bungie banning people playing on Linux. They count Proton/Wine as an emulator, and playing the game through an emulator is a bannable offense. The store page mentions nothing about this though, so people would try to play on Linux, get banned, and not even be able to play on Windows any more.

This is a misrepresentation of the Bungie issue. Users had to patch Proton itself to disable the in-game anti-cheat just to get the game to launch. Disabling anti-cheat is the bannable offense.


Definitely this.

It's hard to extrapolate from 10 posts by a few people who claim they weren't cheating all the way to "permanently banning Linux players".
