I think the title is misleading. They are not permanently banning Linux players. Some Linux players with a certain set of software installed are being banned. They’re opening cases with EA. One person confirmed their was case was not overturned and their ban stands. The players banned are using Lutris, a third party game launcher which is likely against the TOS. I most certainly it don’t agree with EA, but there’s more color than flat out Linux bans. EDIT: it also looks like they’re using dkvs, the vulkan gl implementation which allows users to swap shaders which would obviously constitute cheating. Probably they caught some cheaters using dkvs, added it to the list of disallowed software without fully understanding what it was and now it’s flagging a lot of false positives.
