It's common knowledge that games like Apex Legends blocked Linux access or deployed an anti-cheat that previously was fine, that then players got bans for. Source: I'm taking you to Reddit, deal with it https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1iszbmu/games_that_banned_linux/

Fuck me you're needy, it was a light-hearted comment, if you spent any time in the Linux gaming space, I wouldn't have to spoon-feed you a joke. Have a good one.
No I'm not explaining what the one is :D
Sheesh. Another community I'm more than happy to ignore.
No worries, hope you find somewhere that suits you. Just for future chats if you’re genuinely curious, try to ease up a bit and be more polite. You came across more contrarian than conversational, so I matched that energy while still giving you what you asked for.
