I built a PC for the family yesterday, and I’m hoping to get away with going 100% Linux. What makes me a little nervous is that Epic Games, GOG, battle.net, EA store, etc don’t officially support Linux. If I try using Lutris, or Heroic Games Launcher, or something similar to use those platforms, is there a chance my account will get banned? I’ve seen some stories about people getting banned from Apex Legends using Linux, but since I don’t play that one I’m not too concerned about it.

Has anyone had a bad experience?

    Why should a store ban you from spending there your money?

      I mean, that’s exactly what Nintendo did to me after modding my Switch to transfer save games between PC and Switch for games I’ve bought on both platforms.

      They shouldn’t. But there are all sorts of things they shouldn’t do that they do anyway as a cash grab or to appease investors.

        Stopping you from spending money is hardly a cash grab.

          It is when it causes other people to spend money or stops the company from spending money.
